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!

Directions

Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment.

  2. Trim the stem ends from the Brussels sprouts, halve any large ones, and place them in a bowl.

  3. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, add the kosher salt and black pepper, and toss well to coat.

  4. Spread the sprouts cut side down on the baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 15 minutes.

  5. Meanwhile, whisk the honey, sriracha, minced garlic and the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in a small bowl.

  6. Remove the sprouts from the oven, drizzle the honey mixture over them and toss on the pan to coat evenly.

  7. Return the pan to the oven and roast for 5 more minutes, until the sprouts are caramelized and tender when pierced with a knife.

  8. Serve the sprouts hot straight from the pan.
