When time is up, open the air fryer, stir around the Brussel sprouts.
Sprinkle sprouts with parmesan cheese and pork panko crumbs.
Arrange in one layer and continue to air fry for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, or until crisp tender.
Remove sprouts from air fryer.
Taste for seasonings and adjust accordingly.

Don't crowd the Air Fryer basket: This recipe uses a pound of Brussels sprouts, perfect for a 6 qt. Model. For smaller models, cook in batches, avoiding overcrowding for crispy results. Air-fried foods require a single layer for optimal airflow.
Monitor Cooking Time: Varying factors like the size of the Brussels sprouts and air fryer temperature may require adjusted cooking times.
Panko Alternatives: Regular breadcrumbs or panko breadcrumbs work just as well.
Flavor Boost: Add balsamic vinegar and maple syrup drizzle for a sweet-tangy finish. It's delicious!
