Honey Sriracha Brussel Sprouts
Description
Honey Sriracha Brussels Sprouts recipe begins with fresh Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved, then tossed in olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting at high temperature until golden brown. The roasting process crisps the edges while cooking the insides to tenderness. A mix of honey and sriracha is prepared to create a glaze that combines sweetness with a spicy kick.
Once roasted, the hot Brussels sprouts are quickly tossed with the honey sriracha sauce so the glaze melts and evenly coats each piece. This creates a sticky, flavorful exterior that contrasts with the tender vegetable inside. Adjust the sriracha quantity to control spiciness, using more for a stronger punch or less for mild heat.
Ideal as a side dish, these Brussels sprouts pair well with a range of main courses or can be served as a warm appetizer. For a vegan option, replacing honey with maple syrup maintains sweetness while respecting dietary preferences.
For best results, sprouts should be dried thoroughly before roasting to maximize crispiness. Leftovers store well in the fridge for several days and can be reheated in the oven to restore texture. Microwaving is a quicker alternative but may reduce crispness.
Ingredients
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved
- 2 - 3 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoon honey
- ½ - 1 tablespoon sriracha
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- In a medium mixing bowl, toss the brussel sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place them face-down in one layer across a baking sheet.
- Bake for 25 - 30 minutes, until tender and golden brown.
- Meanwhile, mix together honey and sriracha in a small bowl and set aside. For a spicier taste, use 1 Tablespoon of sriracha. For a milder spice, use 1.5 teaspoons.
- As soon as the brussel sprouts are done roasting, add them to a serving bowl and immediately toss them with the honey sriracha mixture. Important this is done with they are still piping hot, so the honey glaze melts onto them.
- Sprinkle a dash of salt on top, and enjoy!
Notes
- Dry Brussels sprouts completely after washing to allow crisp roasting.
- Toss with honey sriracha immediately while sprouts are hot so the glaze melts and coats evenly.
- Use pure maple syrup instead of honey for a vegan-friendly version.
- If using frozen sprouts, thaw and pat dry thoroughly before cooking to avoid sogginess.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container refrigerated up to 5 days; reheat in oven for best texture or microwave for convenience.
