- 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved - 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil - 2 tablespoons pure honey - 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce - 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce or tamari - 2 cloves garlic, finely minced - Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste - 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted - Fresh cilantro, roughly chopped The main ingredients are key to this dish. First, Brussels sprouts are the star. Their natural sweetness shines through when roasted. The olive oil helps them roast evenly and adds a rich flavor. Honey sweetens the dish and balances the heat. Sriracha sauce brings a spicy kick that makes this dish exciting. For the additional ingredients, soy sauce or tamari adds umami. Garlic gives a warm, savory note. Adding sea salt and pepper enhances all the flavors. Finally, for garnishes, toasted sesame seeds add a nice crunch. Fresh cilantro brings a bright, herbal taste. Together, these ingredients make Honey Sriracha Brussels sprouts a tasty and colorful side dish. Start by trimming the ends off the Brussels sprouts. Then, cut each one in half. This helps them cook evenly. Next, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). A hot oven ensures perfect roasting. In a large bowl, add the halved Brussels sprouts. Pour in 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Sprinkle with sea salt and cracked pepper. Toss them well to coat. Place the sprouts on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Keep them in a single layer for even roasting. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Stir them halfway through for best results. You want them golden brown and crispy. While the sprouts roast, mix the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of honey and 2 tablespoons of Sriracha sauce. Add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 2 minced garlic cloves. Blend until smooth. When the Brussels sprouts are ready, take them out of the oven. Drizzle the honey Sriracha glaze over the sprouts. Toss gently to coat every piece. Return the baking sheet to the oven for another 5 to 7 minutes. This helps the glaze caramelize. When done, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and chopped cilantro before serving. To get the best texture from your Brussels sprouts, roast them in a single layer. This helps them cook evenly. If they overlap, some sprouts may steam instead of roast, losing that crispy bite. Stir the sprouts halfway through cooking. This simple step makes sure every piece gets that golden color. You can adjust the sweetness or spice of the glaze. If you want it sweeter, add more honey. For more heat, just add extra Sriracha. You can also swap the olive oil for another oil, like avocado oil or sesame oil. Each option brings a unique taste to the dish. Serve the Honey Sriracha Brussels sprouts in a shallow bowl. This highlights their bright colors. Add a sprinkle of sesame seeds on top for crunch. A scattering of fresh cilantro gives a nice pop. For a fresh twist, include a wedge of lime on the side. This adds a zesty kick that pairs well with the sweetness. {{image_4}} You can make your Honey Sriracha Brussels sprouts even better. Adding citrus can enhance their taste. A squeeze of lime or orange juice adds a bright twist. The tanginess balances the sweet heat of the sauce. You can also mix in other spices. Try garlic powder, smoked paprika, or cumin for extra depth. If you need gluten-free options, use tamari instead of soy sauce. Tamari gives the same great flavor without gluten. For vegan substitutions, replace honey with maple syrup. It keeps the sweetness while making the dish plant-based. Want a crunch? Add nuts like almonds or cashews. They add texture and flavor. You can mix in other vegetables too. Carrots, bell peppers, or sweet potatoes work well. This gives you a colorful and tasty dish. To keep your Honey Sriracha Brussels sprouts fresh, use airtight containers. Glass or plastic containers work well. Make sure they are sealed tightly. Place the sprouts in the fridge right after they cool down. This helps keep them crispy. When reheating, I suggest using the oven. This method helps maintain the texture. Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the sprouts on a baking sheet and heat for about 10 minutes. If you want to use the microwave, do it in short bursts. Check often to avoid sogginess. If you want to freeze them, the first step is to cool them completely. Spread them on a baking sheet in a single layer. Freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. When you want to eat them, thaw in the fridge overnight. Reheat as mentioned before for the best taste. To cut the heat, you can reduce the amount of Sriracha. Start with one tablespoon instead of two. You can also add more honey to balance the spice. Mixing in some lime juice adds freshness and reduces heat. If you're looking for alternatives, use sweet chili sauce or barbecue sauce. Both add tasty flavor without too much heat. You can use frozen Brussels sprouts, but they will cook a bit differently. Frozen sprouts have more moisture, which may affect crispiness. Thaw them before roasting for better results. Pat them dry with a towel to remove excess water. This helps them roast evenly and get that nice golden color. These sprouts pair well with many dishes. Try serving them with grilled chicken or fish for a complete meal. They also match nicely with rice or quinoa. For a fun twist, add them to tacos or grain bowls. You can even serve them as a side with a zesty lime wedge for extra flavor.

Ingredients
  

1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons pure honey

2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce

1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for a gluten-free option)

2 cloves garlic, finely minced

Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted (for garnish)

Fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). A hot oven is key to achieving perfectly roasted Brussels sprouts.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts with the extra virgin olive oil. Season generously with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, and toss until all the sprouts are generously coated in the olive oil mixture.

      Spread the Brussels sprouts evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are arranged in a single layer. This will help them roast evenly. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Be sure to stir them halfway through for even cooking.

        While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, whip up the delectable honey Sriracha glaze. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, Sriracha sauce, soy sauce (or tamari), and finely minced garlic until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

          Once the Brussels sprouts have reached that golden perfection, remove them from the oven. Drizzle the honey Sriracha glaze generously over the roasted sprouts, and toss gently to ensure every piece is beautifully coated in the sauce.

            Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 5-7 minutes. This will allow the glaze to caramelize slightly, creating a deliciously sticky finish.

              Once done, take them out of the oven and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
