Thoroughly wash the brussels sprouts by soaking them in a large bowl of warm water for 10 to 15 minutes.

Drain and rinse the brussels sprouts, then cut the ends off with a sharp knife.

Slice the brussels sprouts in half; if they are large, cut them in half again.

In a large bowl, add the brussels sprouts, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Toss to combine.

Add the brussels sprouts to the preheated air fryer set at 400 degrees and cook for 7 minutes.

After 7 minutes, remove the basket and shake it or toss the brussels sprouts for even frying. Air fry for another 7 minutes.

Once the second cooking time is up, add 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon of honey, and 2 cloves of minced garlic to the brussels sprouts. Toss to combine.

Air fry for an additional 2 minutes to cook the garlic and thicken the sauce over the brussels sprouts.

Transfer the crispy brussels sprouts to a bowl and toss with 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese, or sprinkle it on top to coat.
