1. Halve brussel sprouts. In a large bowl, toss brussel sprouts with olive oil. Air fry for 20 minutes at 400 degrees (tossing every 5-6 minutes). Don’t have an airfryer? Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and roast for 30-35 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through. 

2. While sprouts cook, combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sriracha, minced garlic, and brown sugar in a small pot. Bring to boil over high heat then simmer on low for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. 

3. Transfer cooked brussel sprouts to a bowl. Add szechuan pepper to the sauce and pour over the sprouts. Stir in roughly chopped parsley. 

4. Garnish and serve immediately.
