- Air Fry the Sprouts: Place the sprouts in a single layer in the air fryer basket (cook in batches if needed). Air fry for about 15 minutes, shaking the basket or rotating pans halfway through.
- Make Shallot Butter (Optional):
- Finely chop the shallot.

Tips & Tricks for Crispy Brussels Sprouts:
- Cut Them Right: Halve Brussels sprouts larger than 1 inch to speed up cooking and make them crispier.
- Spread Them Out: Don’t pile them up in the air fryer. Arrange them in a single layer for the best crispiness.
