Air fryer sprouts are so tasty (you can get a very similar effect by roasting, but air fryers use a lot less energy). They go sweet, nutty and soft yet crunchy. We’ve paired them with butter beans here, which pop and crisp up wonderfully in an air fryer, as well as sweet apple and creamy, salty cheese. The result is a wonderful combo of flavours and textures.
Ingredients
- 300g Brussels sprouts
- Olive oil
- 400g tin butter beans (or try chickpeas or cannelleni beans)
- 1 apple (or pear)
- 1 lemon
- 60g feta (stilton would also be great)
- Handful chopped parsley
Method
- Cut the very bottom off the sprouts, peel away any rough outer leaves and halve them. Add them to your air fryer tray with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt and pepper.
- Cook at 190°C for 5 minutes.
- Drain your butter beans and pat them dry with kitchen paper. After the sprouts have had 5 minutes, add the beans to the air fryer, with a dash more olive oil. Shake and cook for 10 minutes.
- Chop the apple into small pieces. Chop the parsley, stalks and all.
- Once done, add your apple to the sprout mix, squeeze in the juice of the lemon and add more seasoning to taste. Shake to mix.
- Plate up and crumble over the feta and sprinkle over the parsley.
