Air fryer roast sprouts are a nutritious and delicious side dish that offers a healthy twist on traditional roasted vegetables. By using an air fryer, the sprouts become crispy on the outside while remaining tender on the inside, creating a perfect texture combination.
Ingredients
- 500g/1lb 2oz small Brussels sprouts, peeled, washed and halved
- 180g/6¼oz ready-to-eat chestnuts, halved
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 100g/3½oz pancetta, cubed
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 180°C.
- In a bowl, combine the sprouts and chestnuts with the oil, ensuring they are evenly coated. Season the mixture generously with salt and pepper, then add the pancetta.
- Arrange the sprout mixture in a single layer in the air fryer, possibly requiring multiple batches. Cook for 18-20 minutes, remembering to toss the sprouts halfway through. The goal is to achieve tender sprouts with a crisp exterior, along with perfectly crisp pancetta. Enjoy this delicious and flavorful dish as a side or main course.
