Special Precautions and Tips:
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. This will prevent the Brussels sprouts from cooking evenly.
- If your air fryer does not have a shake function, shake the basket manually halfway through cooking.
- Be careful not to overcook the Brussels sprouts. They should be tender but still have a slight crunch.
- Serve the Brussels sprouts immediately after cooking for the best flavor and texture.
