Instructions
Trim the stem ends and remove any loose or yellow outer leaves. Halve each sprout vertically so the cut side gets direct heat.
Pat the halved sprouts very dry with a clean kitchen towel.
In a bowl, toss the dried sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the sprouts cut-side down in an even layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 12–15 minutes, shaking halfway.
In a bowl, whisk together maple syrup, Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, and minced garlic.
Transfer the hot sprouts to a bowl and pour the glaze over them. Toss to coat.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes
Patting the sprouts dry and avoiding overcrowding ensures crispiness. The glaze can be made ahead and refrigerated.
