Honey Sriracha Brussels Sprouts

Honey sriracha Brussels sprouts are a simple, no-fuss vegetable side. The perfect addition to your holiday tables!

Ok WOW. These are some of the best-tasting vegetables I’ve ever had and that’s saying a lot, because I love a good roasted veggie.

The best part is they are totally fool-proof. Even the self-proclaimed haters of anything green will be a convert after tasting these! And you only need a few easy-to-find ingredients.

Ingredients

• brussels sprouts
• honey which is sweet but also a bit sticky, which I love here.
• sriracha (brings the heat 🔥)
• garlic (I also love using these frozen garlic cubes to save time)
• lime juice and zest for peak flavor

How to Prep Brussels Sprouts

I have a few tips for making the absolute best Brussels sprouts. Here are the steps to prepping them, before you even get any of the other ingredients involved.

Wash and remove the outer leaves

No one wants a gritty vegetable. This is the best way to ensure the sprouts are clean. Give them a good rinse in a colander and then remove the outer leaves. You’ll be left with a pretty green interior.

Trim the hard ends

You’ll notice a tough and dirty hard end. Use a sharp paring knife to slice it off, taking care not to cut too much so the entire thing falls apart. Just the tip is perfect. Notice in the picture below that they are still totally intact.

Cut to equal size

This is a biggie! When cooking vegetables (or really anything) it’s important to chop uniformly for even cooking. However you’ll naturally have some that are really small (leave those whole!) and some that are on the larger side (quarter those). For most, I find that halving is the best. Plus you get a nice flat side for browning.

Add your prepped Brussels sprouts to a large bowl for tossing with olive oil and salt so everything is perfectly coated. Then spread them out on a large sheet pan, with the cut side facing down.

After a high-heat roast in the oven for about a half hour, you’ll be left with a beautiful deep brown color which means a whole lot of flavor. Toss them with the sweet and spicy sauce and voila!

Is it too soon to be thinking about holiday tables? Because this is worthy side dish if I’ve even seen one. Kind of healthy, no flavor spared.
