- 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
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
- 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.
