Brussels Sprouts Roasted in Sriracha & Honey

Last fall, I picked up some delicious roasted Brussels sprouts from the prepared veggie aisle at my local Whole Foods. It was instant addiction. I couldn’t keep them in my fridge longer than the time it took to put my groceries away. They are delicious warm but just as wonderful (maybe even more) with a glass of wine and a slice of cheese as an appetizer before dinner. Here is my version!
