Instructions
- 1
Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for 3 minutes.
- 2
In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with the olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- 3
Arrange the Brussels sprouts in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook at 380°F (193°C) for 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until browned on the edges and tender in the center.
- 4
While they cook, make the glaze by mixing the Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, and garlic powder in a small bowl.
- 5
Transfer the cooked Brussels sprouts to a clean bowl, add the glaze, and toss well to coat evenly.
- 6
Return the glazed Brussels sprouts to the air fryer and cook at 360°F (182°C) for 4 more minutes, until the glaze clings and lightly caramelizes.
- 7
Serve immediately topped with the toasted hazelnuts, lemon zest, and fresh parsley.
Chef tips
Do not overcrowd the basket so the sprouts brown properly. If they are very large, cut them into quarters for more even cooking.
Substitutions
You can swap the hazelnuts for walnuts or sunflower seeds if preferred. Honey can be replaced with maple syrup for a different flavor profile, though the dietary tag would change.
