Air Fryer Buffalo Brussel Sprouts – Air fried Brussel sprouts are tossed in buffalo sauce and then sprinkled with blue cheese crumbles

Today’s recipe is for a fun take on Brussel sprouts. I tried these once on a whim and loved them! They are Air Fryer Buffalo Brussel Sprouts and they are extremely easy to make. I love their crispy texture and tangy flavor from the buffalo sauce.

This recipe shows you how to make Brussel sprouts nice and crispy in the air fryer. But if you don’t have an air fryer, you can roast them in the oven. Simply follow my instructions in this recipe.

Once the Brussel sprouts are crispy, they are simply drizzled with your favorite buffalo sauce and sprinkled with crumbled blue cheese.

Without further ado, here are my Air Fryer Buffalo Brussel Sprouts!

Tips & Trucks

  1. Use a sauce you like. I used a store-bought buffalo sauce for this recipe – Frank’s Buffalo Sauce to be specific. It’s a good sauce but there are other good ones out there.
  2. Substitute ranch if you prefer. I looooove blue cheese so add it to these Brussel sprouts was a no brainer. But not everyone does. You are totally find substituting ranch if you like that more. Just drizzle over the top of the sprouts.
  3. The crispier the better. Make sure to leave the sprouts in the air fryer until they get nice and crispy. The texture is so important in this recipe so they don’t wilt when drizzling over the buffalo sauce.

Grilled Bang Bang Shrimp Skewers – grilled shrim Grilled Bang Bang Shrimp Skewers – grilled shrimp covered in a spicy, creamy, sweet chili sauce!

Grilling is my FAVORITE, you guys! Those charred grill marks add SO much flavor! This is my grilled twist on the classic fried Bang Bang Shrimp from that upscale seafood restaurant – healthier and just as delicious! 

The sauce is simply mayo + sweet chili sauce + sriracha. SO easy!

Pro tip: Taste your sauce first and add more sriracha if needed – mine was too mild so I kept adding more! And soak those wooden skewers for 30 minutes so they don't catch fire!

Perfect for summer BBQs, pool parties, or anytime you want easy grilled appetizers!

Apple Pie Slider Doughnuts – rich brioche doughn Apple Pie Slider Doughnuts – rich brioche doughnuts tossed in cinnamon sugar, sliced in half, and stuffed with gooey fried apples! 

I LOVE slider doughnuts, you guys! They're stuffed with SO much filling that you can't just pump it into the center – you have to slice them like a burger bun! These fall-inspired beauties are filled with sticky, sweet, crispy fried apples!

The secret? Brioche dough chilled overnight makes them extra tender and fluffy. Don't worry when they turn super brown when frying – that's just the extra butter and eggs!

Pro tip: Use a candy thermometer to keep oil at 360°F – perfect temp for fluffy doughnuts!

Perfect for brunch or anytime you want bakery-level doughnuts at home!

This is the ULTIMATE party appetizer, you guys! My husband couldn't stop eating it – he ate HALF the loaf himself!  Each fluffy ball pulls right off and it's SO fun to eat!

The secret? Baking in a Bundt pan creates the perfect round shape with a center just big enough for marinara dipping sauce!

Pro tip: Remove from the pan while it's still hot – when it cools, the grease solidifies and makes it harder to remove!

Perfect for game day, pasta night, tailgating, or anytime you need a crowd-pleasing appetizer!
