Rinse brussels sprouts with water and pat dry with a kitchen towel.
Using a sharp knife, trim off the bottom of the hard stem of each Brussel sprouts and cut each Brussels sprout in half lengthwise, from tip to trimmed end.
Place Brussel sprouts in a medium bowl. Add olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss them well, until evenly coated with the seasoning. Using your hands works best for this.
Preheat the air fryer to 360°F (180°C). Add the seasoned Brussel sprouts to the air fryer basket and spread them in a single layer (cook in batches if required).
Air fryer them at 360°F (180°C) for 10-12 minutes or until slightly browned and crisp. Shake the basket halfway through. Mine was cooked perfectly in 11 minutes.
Drizzle some freshly squeezed lemon juice on the roasted Brussel sprouts for citrus zesty flavor and serve immediately. Tastes best when it's hot.

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spread the seasoned Brussel sprouts evenly in a single layer.
Cook for about 20-25 minutes or until slightly brown and crisp. You may have to turn them once halfway through. Cooking time may vary based on your oven and the size of the sprouts.

Choose Brussel sprouts of the same size: This helps for quick and even cooking.
Work in batches. Make sure to spread the Brussel sprouts in a single layer in the air fryer basket leaving some space between each other. Cook in batches if needed.
Shake the basket halfway: It's important to shake the basket halfway through to allow the broccoli florets to be cooked evenly.
Serve them right away: These crispy roasted Brussel sprouts get soggy as they sit and cool.
The exact cooking time will vary based on the air fryer being used.

Lemon wedges and/or zest: Add a fresh squeeze of lemon juice right before serving.
Cheese: Sprinkle freshly-grated grated Parmesan cheese after roasting.
Herbs: add a handful of fresh finely chopped dill, parsley, or cilantro.
Seasonings: You can sprinkle some Italian seasoning and red chili flakes before roasting.
