Honey-Sriracha Brussels Sprouts Recipe
This recipe transforms Brussels sprouts into a flavorful side with a balance of heat and sweetness. The sprouts are pan-seared until browned and tender, then coated in a honey-sriracha glaze that includes soy sauce, rice vinegar, and garlic powder. A touch of butter enriches the sauce, giving it a smooth, glossy finish. The combination highlights the natural earthiness of Brussels sprouts with a vibrant, spicy kick that can complement a variety of main dishes.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts trimmed and cut in half
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 3 tablespoons sriracha
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon rice vinegar or use lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Toss the brussels sprouts with olive oil and salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat a large pan to medium heat and add the brussels sprouts, trimmed sides down. Cook for 6-7 minutes, until nicely browned.
- Flip the brussels sprouts and cook another 5 minutes, or until softened to your preference. Set the brussels sprouts onto a plate.
- Return the pan to medium-low heat.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the sriracha, honey, soy sauce, vinegar (or lemon juice), and garlic powder. Add to the pan and heat for 2 minutes.
- Whisk in the butter until it melts through and the honey-sriracha sauce thickens.
- Return the brussels sprouts to the pan and toss. Heat for 2-3 minutes and serve.
Notes
- You can roast the Brussels sprouts at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, then toss with the warm honey-sriracha sauce before serving for a different texture.
- Alternatively, air fry the sprouts at 375°F for 5 minutes, shake the basket, then continue air frying for another 2-3 minutes until done to your liking.
