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.

Biscotti is the dessert I never knew I needed. I discovered them in college when I craved a snack while studying for finals. I bought a biscotti at the library coffee shop and dunked it in my coffee. The cookie that I thought was too crunchy suddenly turn soft and chewy. Yum!

Those memories inspired me to make my own biscotti. First, I made these gingerbread biscotti. And then I made this pistachio version. Now, I’m recreating the biscotti I first had many years ago – Double Chocolate Biscotti.

I am a snacker, through and through. Before meeting my husband and living together, my meals were not planned out and mostly consisted of a lot of small snacks throughout the day. 

Over time, I learned it’s very hard to coordinate meals and get togethers with others when I’m not super hungry so I learned to adapt. But in my core, I am still a snack lover!

Today’s recipe is my newest snack obsession – Rosemary Cheese Straws

Split Buns with Cream and Jam – soft, enriched y Split Buns with Cream and Jam – soft, enriched yeast buns split and filled with fresh whipped cream and raspberry jam, then dusted with powdered sugar!

Once again, The Great British Baking Show has led me to a new treat I'd never heard of but was completely entranced by! Devonshire split buns are a popular British treat made with soft baked buns filled with cream and jam, and honestly? I'm obsessed! 

What I love about these buns is how they feel like eating a sweet sandwich – imagine a jam sandwich but in a long bun with whipped cream! Doesn't that make you drool?

The great news is they're super easy to make! With a simple enriched dough recipe and store-bought jam, you can have these buns ready in just a couple of hours! The dough took me some time to develop because I wanted them soft like hot dog buns (but obviously sweeter!), not dense and heavy!

Pro tip: DO NOT slice all the way through! Leave the bottom connected so the buns hold the filling well! Use piping bags with tips to fill neatly – it makes them look bakery-quality!

Perfect for breakfast, dessert, holiday gatherings, brunch, or anytime you want a soft, indulgent treat!
