    These amazing honey sriracha Brussels sprouts are roasted in the oven and ready in about 30 minutes; this way of cooking sprouts will become a regular.

    Roasting honey sriracha Brussels sprouts is my favorite way of cooking them. But there's this thing about Brussels sprouts. They can be exquisite when cooked properly but can turn bad if you cook the life out of them. Me, I'd rather have a salad of raw sprouts than a bowl of overcooked, mushy sprouts...

    It can hardly get any worse when it comes to vegetables than overcooked sprouts that you can mash with your fork. But bake them and coat them with this spicy sauce, and you will become addicted to this super healthy and delicious recipe. And if you like to use honey for savory dishes, try these amazing Pan-Fried Pork Belly Bites.

    Ingredients: 5 + salt and pepper

    Why should you cook sprouts this way?

    • The veggies are roasted and not cooked to mush. Crispy, flavorful, hot, and sweet. The shallots add a bit of contrast; they are softer, sweeter, and comforting.
    • You will only need a few ingredients.
    • Equipment: one roasting tin and one small bowl.
    • Fast: you will need about 30 minutes, prep time included; it depends on how quickly you clean the vegetables.

    Recipe ingredients

    Brussels sprouts: fresh vegetables. Frozen ones are not great for roasting; they are too watery and will not get crispy in the oven.

    Honey: clear, runny honey. You can sub honey with maple syrup, date, or agave syrup.

    Shallots. Alternatively, use small onions; halve or quarter them, depending on size.

    Sriracha: a sweet, tangy, and hot sauce made from chili peppers with a touch of vinegar, sugar, garlic, and salt. It comes in smaller or larger plastic bottles, and it keeps well in the fridge if you clean the top of the bottle every time you use it.

    Chili: I use red chili flakes because we like this dish hot. However, if you think the sriracha might be enough for you, you can use fewer chili flakes or leave them out altogether.

    Other ingredients: salt and olive oil.

    How to clean Brussels sprouts?

    • Rinse well in a colander under running water, moving them around with your hands to make sure that you remove all the dirt.
    • Trim: Use a small knife to trim off only the top - the stem end of the vegetables.
    • Remove outer leaves: Once you have removed the top of the stem, it is easy to remove the blemished and loose leaves.
    • Halve them, if too large, from top to bottom, making sure that each half is still attached to a small part of the remaining stem. If you remove the stem completely, the leaves will fall apart. I left them whole for this recipe; they were so small and cute. Otherwise, I would normally halve them.

    Recipe steps

    • Clean and cut sprouts. Clean and halve shallots. Place onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer and season them (1).
    • Roast for about 15 minutes or until almost done.
    • Stir sauce: In the meantime, mix honey, sriracha, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
    • Coat veggies with sauce: Pour the honey sriracha sauce over the vegetables and toss well to coat.
    • Finish roasting: Return to the oven and roast for another 3 to 5 minutes until the vegetables are crunchy and golden brown (2).

    Tips

    You can cook the honey sriracha Brussels sprouts in the air fryer, but you might have to do it in 2 batches or halve the recipe. Cook in the preheated air fryer at 400ยฐF (200ยฐC) for about 10 minutes until done. Toss with the sauce and cook for another 2 minutes until crispy.

    How to store and reheat?

    Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. The dish is not suitable for freezing.

    Reheat in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius) for about 10 minutes or until hot.

    You can also serve the leftovers at room temperature; they are delicious.

    How to serve?

    Side dish: These honey sriracha roasted Brussels sprouts with shallots make a perfect side dish for many dishes. Serve them with Air Fryer Pork Roast, Air Fryer Turkey Legs, and Thanksgiving Chicken, for instance. I often serve this dish with mashed potatoes and sausages, roast turkey, or roast chicken.

    Main dish: Serve as a vegetarian main dish with mashed potatoes on the side. You might want to add a fried egg on top. Delicious!

    Bowl: Or make a big bowl with couscous, rice, or cooked wheat, spicy sprouts and shallots, fried or poached egg, greens, feta cheese, and whatever else you like. Instead of eggs, add some cooked chicken or tofu.
