Chef’s Tips

• Halve them to the same size so they cook at the same rate.
• Shake the basket halfway so the loose leaves crisp instead of scorching.
• Add the glaze after cooking. The sugar burns in the fryer.

Pairing Suggestions

• Roast chicken
• Pork chops
• A poached egg on top

Storage & Reheating

Best fresh. Refrigerate up to 3 days and re-crisp in the air fryer at 180°C for 3 minutes. Cooked sprouts do not freeze well.
