Ingredients
Scale
Brussels Sprouts
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts (trimmed and halved for even cooking)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (helps to roast the Brussels sprouts to a golden perfection)
- Salt, to taste (enhances the natural flavors of the sprouts)
- Pepper, to taste (enhances the natural flavors of the sprouts)
Sauce
- 1/4 cup honey (adds sweetness and a sticky texture to the sauce)
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce (provides the spicy kick that makes this dish exciting)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (adds depth and umami flavor to the sauce)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (for an extra layer of flavor)
Garnish
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish, adding a nice crunch)
- Chopped green onions, to taste (for garnish, bringing freshness and color to the dish)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the Brussels sprouts.
- Prepare Brussels Sprouts: In a large bowl, toss the trimmed and halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper until they are evenly coated. This step ensures they roast evenly and develop a crispy texture.
- Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Sriracha sauce, soy sauce, and garlic powder until the sauce is well combined and smooth. This mixture will add a sweet and spicy glaze to the sprouts.
- Roast Brussels Sprouts: Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet to allow for even roasting. Roast them in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to promote uniform browning and crispiness.
- Toss with Sauce: After roasting, remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven, drizzle the honey Sriracha sauce over them, and toss gently to coat the sprouts evenly with the flavorful glaze.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the coated Brussels sprouts for a crunchy texture and fresh, colorful finish. Serve warm.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, make sure the Brussels sprouts are spread in a single layer without overcrowding the baking sheet.
- Adjust the amount of Sriracha sauce according to your preferred spice level.
- To make this dish vegan, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in an oven or skillet for best texture.
