Ingredients

1 pound Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved
1 Tablespoon olive oil
3 Tablespoons water
2 Tablespoons soy sauce
2 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
⅛ teaspoon ground pepper
2 Tablespoons fresh parsley chopped

Instructions

Toss together Brussels sprouts, oil, and water.
Line the air fryer basket with aluminum foil cut to fit. Add Brussels sprouts to the basket and air fry at 350°F, shaking the basket twice, until golden brown and tender, 15-20 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a 2-cup glass measuring cup, combine soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, ginger, and pepper. Microwave on High until syrupy, about 2-2 ½ minutes.
Toss sprouts with parsley and enough sauce to coat. Serve with the remaining sauce on the side.

Notes

Use Aluminum Foil. I highly suggest lining your air fryer basket when cooking this recipe. The balsamic glaze can be a bit messy and the foil makes for easy cleanup!
Give Them Room. Overcrowding your sprouts in the air fryer basket is the worst thing you can do. More space means the air can circulate around them to cook more evenly and crisp up the edges. When you crowd the veggies during roasting, they end up steaming rather than roasting. This means if you have a smaller air fryer you may need to cook in multiple batches.
Like It Spicy? You can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper to glaze for a bit of spice.
Add Another Veggie! If you are a fan of veggie combos try adding in some sliced carrots, sweet potato cubes, and onion.
