Why Should Use An Air Fryer For Brussel Sprouts?
- Air frying Brussels sprouts not only cook them quickly, but they become perfectly golden brown and crispy-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside, and without using a lot of oil..
- Flexible and All-In-One kitchen appliances: you can use it to make a diverse variety of foods, such as fry, roast, bake, grill, broil, and stir fry…all in one, in some models. This handy gadget can make pretty much everything, from appetizers to main dishes—and even desserts.
- Healthier meals without sacrificing taste: Instead of completely submerging the food in oil, air-frying requires just a tablespoon of oil, you can still get a similar texture without all the grease, calories and cook healthier food.

What Air Fryer Should I Use?
There are many Air Fryers to choose from, but I love my Ninja Air Fryer AF101. I have been using this air fryer for over a year and I love the appliance. It has a lot of presets for common foods (chicken tender/ wings, French fries, shrimp, steak, bacon, etc.), which helps take the guesswork out of how long to cook certain things. It’s also super easy to clean, so no complaints there.
Buying an air fryer can be a challenge for first-time buyers. With more than 100 models on the market produced by dozens of famous brands, as well as a number of generic clones in a number of available sizes.
