Recipe Notes:
- These Brussels sprouts can be fried the night before and kept in the fridge, ready to reheat the next day.
- The sauce in this recipe can be reduced by half if you like, or you can leave it as is and use the remaining sauce for dipping, drizzling over sprouts, or drizzling over rice, chicken, or shrimp.
- Make sure the fryer basket is not overcrowded, otherwise the vegetables will take longer to cook and will not brown. It is best to cook in batches.
- It’s fine to cover the brussels sprouts before cooking and then add them to the fryer, but I’ve found that this method results in more soggy vegetables. If you decide to do this, leave out the olive oil. Alternatively, you can also cook the brussels sprouts without the sauce and let the sauce drizzle over the top after they are fully cooked.
Can I freeze leftover brussels sprouts from bang bang?
You can freeze these air fried brussels sprouts for up to 1 month, though they can get mushy and mushy once frozen and thawed.
Is this recipe vegan?
This recipe includes regular mayonnaise, so it’s not vegan, but you could use a vegan mayonnaise instead.
Are these sprouts super spicy?
No. The sauce gives the fried brussels sprouts a slight kick, but doesn’t overpower. You can always reduce the amount of Sriracha sauce added to the bang bang sauce or increase it based on your preferred heat.
