Ingredients Needed: 

You only need a few ingredients for this dish. You can also use all brussels sprouts or all butternut squash if you prefer. 

• Brussels Sprouts – They can be purchased already cleaned and ready to use or not. They are very easy to clean and cut. 
• Butternut Squash – You don’t need a large squash for this dish. Acorn squash also works. 
• Olive Oil – This helps the brussels sprouts and squash get nice and crispy. 
• Parmesan Cheese – This cheese adds a nice salty flavor. 
• Bread Crumbs – The bread crumbs gives the dish a little substance. I have used both regular crumbs or Panko crumbs. 
• Garlic Powder – This can be omitted but I love the flavor of garlic in this side dish. 
• Salt and Pepper – I use coarse or kosher salt. 

How To Make Air Fryer Roasted Parmesan Brussels Sprouts and Squash

• Start by preparing the brussels sprouts and squash. Cut the ends off of the sprouts and then cut them in half. 

• Dice the butternut squash into small cubes. 
• Place the sprouts and squash in a large bowl and then stir in olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder. 
• Pour into the air fryer basket and cook at 390 degrees for 10 minutes.  
• In a small bowl, stir together bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle the mixture on top of the sprouts and squash and cook again at 390 for 5 minutes. 

Tips For The Perfect Air Fryer Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Squash

• Cut the vegetables in uniform size.
• Try to spread out in one layer in the air fryer basket. 
• If your vegetables are on the larger side, they might require a few extra minutes for roasting.
• If you want to kick it up a notch, add some crumbled bacon.
