Tried frozen vs fresh brussels sprouts in the air fryer and wow
I did a little experiment last weekend with brussels sprouts because I had a bag of frozen ones sitting in the freezer and a fresh bunch from the farmers market. I seasoned both the same way with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then cooked them at 375 for about 12 minutes. The frozen ones came out super soft and a little watery, kind of like steamed sprouts with some crispy edges. But the fresh ones? Those got perfectly caramelized on the outside with a nice crunch and the centers stayed tender but not mushy. I think the extra moisture in the frozen ones just steams them instead of letting them crisp up. Has anyone else tried cooking frozen veggies in their air fryer with better results using a different temp or time?
