Ingredients:
🥦 4 cups Brussels sprouts leaves
🛢️ Canola spray
🧂 1/2 teaspoon salt
⚫ 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
🍬 1/2 teaspoon sugar
🧅 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
🌰 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
🌶️ 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for less spice)
🌶️ 1 teaspoon paprika
🌿 1/4 teaspoon cumin
🌶️ 1 teaspoon chili powder
Instructions:
Prepare the Brussels Sprouts:
- Start by removing the outer leaves of the Brussels sprouts. To do this, cut a small part of the stem off, making it easier to peel away the layers until you reach four cups of leaves. Place all leaves into a large bowl.
Season the Leaves:
- Lightly spray the leaves with canola oil to ensure they are evenly coated. This will help them crisp up nicely in the air fryer.
- In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper (if using), paprika, cumin, and chili powder.
- Sprinkle the spice mix over the Brussels sprouts leaves and toss well to ensure all the leaves are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Cook the Leaves:
- Preheat your air fryer to 325°F (approximately 163°C).
- Place the seasoned Brussels sprouts leaves in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Cook for 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- The leaves should be crispy and golden brown when done.
Serve:
- Transfer the crispy Brussels sprouts chips to a serving plate. Enjoy them hot as a snack or as a crispy side to complement your meal.
