Honey Sriracha Brussels Sprouts
Description
This recipe prepares Brussels sprouts by trimming, halving, and tossing them with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roasting until tender and developing golden brown color. The sprouts are then coated with a mixture of honey, Sriracha, soy sauce, and sesame seeds, which add sweet, spicy, and umami notes. Broiling briefly after coating caramelizes the honey and crisps the sprouts further, giving them crisp caramelized spots while preserving tenderness inside.
The honey brings sweetness that balances the spicy kick from Sriracha and the savory depth from soy sauce. Roasting and broiling steps combine to produce sprouts with crispy edges and a soft interior. Sesame seeds add subtle nuttiness and texture contrast.
These Brussels sprouts are best served immediately to enjoy the crisp texture and fresh flavors. They make a flavorful side for roasted meats, rice dishes, or as part of vegetable-focused meals.
Use a large baking sheet to avoid overcrowding for optimal browning and preventing steaming. Pay attention to broil timing and watch closely to avoid burning, setting a timer for the few minutes recommended.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds Brussels sprouts
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce (or to taste) Up to 1 tablespoon depending how spicy you want these.
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375° F
- Trim Brussels sprouts, removing any discolored outer leaves and slice in half.
- In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts, oil, salt and pepper together and spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment.
- Slide tray into oven and roast 30 minutes, stirring halfway through to let them brown evenly.
- Meanwhile, mix together honey, sriracha, soy sauce and sesame seeds.
- Remove sprouts from oven and turn oven up to broil setting.
- Drizzle honey mixture over. Stir to lightly coat and place back in oven (that is pre heated to broil) for 2-4 minutes longer, or until they caramelize and get crispy in spots. Watch carefully while broiling and remove as soon as they have brown spots all over.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use a large baking sheet to keep sprouts in a single layer for crisp edges and avoid steaming.
- Set a timer when broiling to monitor the 2-4 minute caramelization and prevent burning.
