Can I use frozen Brussels sprouts?

You can, but fresh is best for maximum crispiness. If using frozen, don't thaw them—just toss straight from freezer to air fryer. They'll need 2-3 extra minutes and won't get quite as crispy, but still tasty in a pinch.

How do I prevent sogginess?

The golden rules: don't overcrowd the basket, preheat properly, and shake halfway. Also, make sure your sprouts are completely dry before oiling—any extra moisture is the enemy of crunch. Understanding the science behind why air fryer chips get soggy can help prevent this.

Why are my sprouts burning?

Every air fryer runs a bit different. If yours tends to run hot, try lowering the temp to 360°F and checking at 10 minutes. Smaller sprouts also cook faster—keep an eye on them! If you are interested in the general principles of how air fryers work, you can look up information on convection cooking technology.

Can I make these ahead?

They're best fresh, but you can prep the raw seasoned sprouts up to 4 hours ahead. Just store them in the fridge until ready to cook—the wait actually helps the flavors meld.
