Honey Sriracha Brussel Sprouts

What is not to love about a sweet and spicy dish??? They are always my favorites and this Honey Sriracha Brussel Sprouts is a really good one. They are the perfect blend of sweet, spicy, and a little salty.

Why Make These Brussel Sprouts?

Well, the flavor is king in this recipe. The spicy sweetness pairs so well with the brussel sprouts. I cannot resist!

They are really simple to make. It takes a bit of time to prep the brussel sprouts, but other than that, they only take a few minutes of hands-on time.

This is a healthy recipe. With no refined sugars and brussel sprouts, which are high in fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, what's not to love?

You can use these for meal prep. This recipe reheats well, so double and use it for meal prep if you like!

Ingredients

  • Brussel Sprouts- make sure these are fresh. If you use old, soft brussel sprouts, the dish will not be as good!
  • Olive oil- You can also use melted butter if you like, but I prefer olive oil.
  • Sriracha Sauce- I have not found a sub that I like better than the sriracha sauce.
  • Honey
  • Salt and Pepper
  • Fresh lemon juice

How To Make

Start by prepping your brussel sprouts. This takes a little time but isn't hard. I like to cut off the base, then peel back the outer leaves that are browned or aren't good.

Once the brussel sprouts are prepped, cut them in half lengthwise. Place them in a bowl.

In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, honey, sriracha, lemon juice, and salt and pepper. Mix this well and pour over the brussel sprouts. Mix well to coat the sprouts.

Pour onto your baking sheet and spread them out. Place in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. At the end of the baking time, I like to change the temperature of the oven to broil.

Cook for a few minutes on broil. This will crispy up and brown the brussel sprouts. Just make sure not to walk away at this point. The sugars in the honey will burn quickly, so keep an eye on these!

Notes

  1. This recipe is really straightforward, I just have a few suggestions before you get started.
  2. Make sure your brussel sprouts are good. When you are buying them, it is normal the outer leaves will be browned or even black. Don't stress about this, they will be removed anyway.
  3. I like to press the brussel sprouts to make sure they are firm and don't have give. If they feel soft, don't buy them. I also usually don't buy them on the stem. When you do, you just wind up paying extra weight for that stem too.

To get the beautiful color shown in my photos, make sure and broil for a few minutes after the baking time. It will only take 2-5 minutes, so keep an eye on them. They can go from a beautiful browned to burned really quickly.

I like to reheat these in the microwave when they are used as meal prep. They heat pretty quickly and are really simple to serve.

FAQ

How long will brussel sprouts last in the fridge?

They can stay good in the fridge for 5-7 days! I like to make sure I open the bag and give them a little breathing room.

What is sriracha sauce made of?

It is made from red jalapeno-hybrid chili pepper.

Where can I find sriracha?

You really can find it just about anywhere. I buy mine at my local grocery store, Walmart, etc. It is generally in the Asain food aisle.
