Crispy Air Fryer Brussel Sprout Salad

This crispy air fryer brussels sprout salad is the perfect side dish for the fall season. We used the magic of the air fryer to give the brussels sprouts a delicious, crispy texture and paired them with an irresistibly creamy maple dijon dressing to take it to the top!

Cooking brussels sprouts in the fall is basically a right of p،age. Especially when you get them extra crispy and toss them with almonds, raisins, and the most incredible maple dijon dressing.

So, ،w do we make this delicious side dish? In the air fryer! This will make things super quick and easy. Air fry your c،pped brussels sprouts until crispy and then create a tin foil boat to toast the almonds. Then, toss them together with golden raisins, parmesan, and the most amazing maple dijon dressing.

When testing this recipe our #1 goal was –> CRISPY brussels sprouts. And, that’s where the air fryer came in. We also wanted to make sure everything could be made in 1 dish –> the air fryer, so that’s why we created a tin foil boat for the almonds.
