Brussels sprouts in an air fryer

190 °C / 374 °F for 12–16 min
Oven equivalent: 200 °C / 392 °F for 25–35 min

An air fryer is a small convection oven, so brussels sprouts cooks at 190 °C rather than 200 °C and takes 12–16 min instead of 25–35. That is roughly the usual 20 °C drop and a fifth off the time, though this one needs more of a drop than the rule suggests — see below.

What goes wrong

  • Halve them and start cut-side down for a browned face.
  • Loose outer leaves will burn and blow around. Pull them off before cooking.

Air fryer wattage and basket size vary widely, so treat the first batch as a calibration run and write down what worked. These figures are compiled guidance, not a published standard.
