Ingredients:

• 2 cups Brussel sprouts, trimmed and separated into leaves
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• Coarse salt and red pepper flakes, to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder

Instructions:

1. Begin by preheating your air fryer to 380 degrees F using the “Air Fry” function. This is the first step to unlocking the crispy delight of Brussel Sprout Chips.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the separated Brussel sprout leaves, olive oil, and a dash of coarse salt. The olive oil will coat the leaves and promote even browning during the air frying process.
3. Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to infuse a subtle hint of heat. Adjust the quantity to your preference, whether you’re seeking a gentle warmth or a fiery kick.
4. Introduce a touch of smoked paprika for a deep, smoky flavor that complements the natural earthiness of Brussel sprouts. The paprika’s vibrant hue will also contribute to the chips’ visual appeal.
5. Enhance the chips’ nutritional profile with a dash of turmeric powder, celebrated for its potential health benefits. Its warm and slightly peppery flavor will contribute to the overall flavor profile.
6. Toss all the ingredients together until the Brussel sprout leaves are evenly coated with the flavorful mixture. As you mix, envision the combination of flavors and textures that will soon dance across your palate.
7. Arrange the seasoned Brussel sprout leaves on the parchment-lined air fryer oven perforated pan. As you place them, imagine the gentle transformation that’s about to take place – from tender leaves to crispy, golden chips.
8. Air fry the Brussel Sprout Chips for approximately 6 minutes, or until they reach the perfect level of crispiness. Keep an eye on them to prevent overcooking, as the air fryer’s efficiency can lead to rapid browning.
