Oven and Air Fryer Recipe for crispy brussels sprouts spiced with turmeric, red Kashmiri chili, carom seeds, coriander, & garlic for delicious Pakora-like flavors.

Ingredients :

  • 1 lb brussels sprouts
  • ¼ cup besan gram flour
  • 6 garlic cloves grated
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ⅓ teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 2 teaspoons kashmiri red chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons coriander powder
  • 1 teaspoon ajwain/carom seeds
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Directions :

  1. Rinse and dry brussels sprouts. Trim extra stem. Thinly slice the brussels sprouts using a chef's knife or the slicer attachment in a food processor.
  2. Preheat the oven to 400 F. Line a 9 X 13 baking tray with parchment paper.
  3. Add the shaved Brussels sprouts to a large mixing bowl and add besan, garlic, salt, turmeric, red chili powder, coriander powder, ajwain seeds, and lemon juice. Massage the spices onto the brussels sprouts until well combined. (TIP: Using disposable cooking gloves helps distribute the spices evenly without coating or staining your hands with the spice mixture)
  4. Drizzle olive oil all over and mix again.
  5. Spread the mixture evenly on the baking tray.
