Notes
For more tender cooked brussels sprouts - When air fryer is done pre heating, pour 2 tablespoons water into the bottom of the air fryer basket, place the rack on top and then the brussels sprouts. Proceed with the recipe. (The water will create steam as it cooks, making sure that the sprouts cooks tender inside).
Air Fryer - I use Instant vortex 6 quart air fryer and was able to cook one pound brussels sprouts without over crowding.
