Ingredients

  • 2 cups Brussel sprouts halved
  • ½ cup Soy sauce
  • ½ cup Water
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
  • ½ cup Brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Ginger & garlic paste
  • ¼ cup French fried onions

Instructions

  • Air fry: Add the sprouts to an air fryer basket. Spray the brussels sprouts with cooking spray. Air fry for 10-12 minutes at 375°F.
    2 cups Brussel sprouts
  • Prepare the glaze: While the sprouts are cooking, prepare the glaze. Add all the ingredients to a sauce pan, and place over medium-low heat.
    ½ cup Soy sauce, ½ cup Water, 1 teaspoon Sesame oil, ½ cup Brown sugar, 1 tablespoon Ginger & garlic paste
  • Thicken: Cook the glaze until the water has mostly evaporated, and the glaze has thickened. You should be able to coat a spoon, and draw a line through it.
  • Assemble: Once the sprouts are done cooking, transfer to a serving dish. Spoon the glaze over the sprouts, top with crispy fried onions and serve. Alternatively, you can toss the sprouts with the glaze in a bowl first, and then serve.
    ¼ cup French fried onions

Notes

  • I do not recommend seasoning the sprouts with salt, as the glaze is going to have more than enough salt.
  • Stir the glaze constantly! Because you are going be working with a good amount of sugar, be sure to constantly stir the glaze so that it does not burn.
  • If your air fryer basket is not large enough to spread the sprouts in one layer, shake the basket while cooking the sprouts so everything gets a chance to brown evenly.
