WW Air Fryer Brussel Sprouts Recipe

My air fryer is changing how I cook year-round, and these Weight Watchers air fryer Brussel sprouts are one of the latest recipes I used my air fryer on. Now, oven-roasted vegetables are my favorite, but I have not wanted to turn on the oven in the summer. With no heating, this is also fast for weeknight dinners during the school year.

Weight Watchers air fryer brussel sprouts, now I will be the first to admit that I was not a huge vegetable eating girl before. My Weight Watchers leader meeting used to use me as an example of how the program works if you work it. I rarely eat fruit, and at the time, only potatoes and corn as vegetables in my diet. It’s incredible how much a lifestyle change expanding your palate can be.

A Note From Jenny

When starting any healthy lifestyle, consult a doctor to address any personal health concerns. Some things can only be addressed medically and by a professional. Blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and hormones checked at a physical before starting and at least once a year, as these all can affect an active lifestyle.

With so many different programs, such as Weight Watchers, Keto, and macros, it can be hard to know what to pick. (If you’re interested in Weight Watchers, you can sign up -> here and sign up for $10/month for 10 months.)

I personally use the app Myfitnesspal to track my food.  I use macros and focus on High Protein (calories, fat, protein, and carbohydrates) and rotate through cuts and maintenance calories. (Use a calculator like this -> here)  . I did WW for years, but now that I am more maintenance, with cuts throughout the year, and focusing on mobility with strength training. There is no right or wrong answer, as all bodies are different.

Brussel Sprouts Air Fryer Ingredients

Brussel Sprouts– I used fresh Brussel sprouts and then trimmed them down. You can buy them pre-halved to make the prep for this even more accessible.

Garlic Olive Oil-You could substitute for plain olive oil or a different flavor of Olive Oil or plain olive oil. Some oils change the Weight Watchers points value, so scan using your Weight Watchers app to verify the point value.

Garlic Salt– I am a garlic fanatic; you can also use Fresh Ground sea salt or regular salt in place.

Fresh Ground Pepper

How To Prepare Brussel Sprouts

Now you can buy Brussel sprouts on the better russel on the stalk; this can be a little bit more work. There are benefits to buying your brussel sprouts on the stem. They will retain their volume and plumpness.

You can even make roasted brussel sprouts on the stalk, but I prefer a bit less prep work or for serving.

If you need to cut the Brussel Sprout off the stalk, do so.

If using off the stalk, Brussel Sprouts trim the ends off and peel off the outside leaves if needed.

Rinse off the Brussel Sprouts and then slice them in half length-wise.

How To Make Brussel Sprouts In Air Fryer

In a large mixing bowl, fill it with cold water and add in a bit of garlic salt.

Trim and prepare your Brussel Sprouts, and slice lengthwise if needed.

Soak brussel sprouts in salt water, for at least ten to 15 minutes.

Spray your air fryer racks or air fryer basket with a nonstick spray. I made this in my Power XL Air Fryer with the racks, but I have also made a small batch in my Power XL Basket Air Fryer.

Pour the water from the bowl or use a slotted spoon to remove the brussel sprouts from the cold water.

Spread your brussel sprouts out onto the racks or in the basket. You will want these to have some spacing so the air can move evenly around the brussel sprouts.

Move the racks or basket into the air fryer.

Set your air fryer to 375 degrees for 10 minutes and allow them to cook.

Add a couple more minutes if needed to achieve the level of doneness you want.

Serve and enjoy!

How To Store WW Brussel Sprouts

Once the Brussel Sprouts have cooled off, move them to an air-tight container or bag to store in the fridge for up to three days.

How To Reheat Roasted Brussels Sprouts

You can reheat these in a microwave, the air fryer, or the oven, or they are not too bad cold to snack on.

The only thing with points is the Olive Oil used; if you use less or more, that will affect the points of the recipe. Make sure you always recalculate the points as you are making the recipe in case your ingredients have a different point value or the plan has changed.
