Air fry

  • Pre-heat the air fryer at 370 F for 3-4 mins. Transfer the veggies into the air fryer basket, spread them into an even layer with the help of a spatula. Air fry for 25-30 mins shaking the basket every 5-6 mins for even cooking (the cook time might slightly vary depending on your air fryer make, model and brand). Serve the air fryer brussel sprouts and sweet potatoes just as such or with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!

Notes

  1. Cook time: This recipe has been tested in a Bella air fryer, instant vortex air fryer and also using the instant pot air fryer lid. The cook time might slightly vary depending on your air fryer make, model and brand.
  2. Spicy roasted veggies: For spicy flavor add more red pepper flakes or a few dashes of cayenne pepper.
  3. Roasted veggie texture: This recipe will yield fork tender brussel sprouts and sweet potatoes with crispy charred/brown outer edges. So good!
