Wash the brussels sprouts, trim the stems, and cut them in half.
Place the halved brussels sprouts in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 2-3 minutes to par-cook them.
To the bowl, add olive oil, garlic salt, crushed Calabrian chili peppers, and balsamic vinegar.
Toss everything together until the brussels sprouts are evenly coated.
Transfer the seasoned brussels sprouts to the air fryer basket.
Air fry for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until crispy and caramelized.
Move the cooked brussels sprouts to a serving dish.
Top with grated Parmesan cheese and a drizzle of balsamic glaze before serving.
