Ingredients
-
1 pound fresh Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
Salt, to taste
-
Black pepper, to taste
-
3 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
-
2 tablespoons honey
-
1 tablespoon soy sauce (or coconut aminos for a gluten-free option)
-
2 garlic cloves, minced
-
1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
-
1 green onion, thinly sliced (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
-
Trim the Brussels sprouts and remove any damaged leaves, then cut them in half lengthwise.
-
Place the sprouts in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
-
Spread the sprouts on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 20–25 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until golden brown and slightly crisp.
-
While roasting, combine Sriracha, honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic in a small bowl and whisk until smooth.
-
Transfer the hot Brussels sprouts to a large mixing bowl and pour the glaze over them. Toss to coat evenly.
-
Optional: Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish.
-
Serve immediately while warm and crispy.
Notes
-
For extra caramelization, broil the Brussels sprouts for 2–3 minutes at the end of roasting, watching closely to prevent burning.
-
Adjust the sweetness or spice level of the glaze according to your preference.
-
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
-
This recipe can easily be made vegan by substituting honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
