Description
Honey Sriracha Brussels Sprouts are the ultimate fusion of sweet and spicy flavors, creating a mouthwatering side dish or appetizer that’s sure to impress.
Ingredients
- Brussels Sprouts: Choose fresh, firm Brussels sprouts with a vibrant green color.
- Olive Oil: This helps the Brussels sprouts roast to a delightful golden-brown hue and adds a touch of richness to the dish.
- Salt and Pepper: These classic seasonings enhance the natural flavors of the Brussels sprouts.
- Honey: The star ingredient that provides the sweet counterpart to the spicy Sriracha. Look for high-quality, raw honey for the best flavor.
- Sriracha Sauce: This Thai-inspired hot sauce adds a delightful kick to the dish, balancing the sweetness of the honey.
- Soy Sauce: A small amount of soy sauce deepens the savory, umami notes in the sauce.
- Garlic Powder: For an extra layer of flavor that complements the other ingredients.
- Sesame Seeds: Sprinkled on top, these provide a delightful crunch and nutty flavor.
- Chopped Green Onions: These add a fresh, vibrant element to the dish, both in terms of flavor and presentation.
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to make for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and slice them in half, ensuring even cooking. Place them in a large bowl and toss with the olive oil, salt, and pepper until well coated.
3. Roast the Brussels Sprouts: Spread the seasoned Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway, until they’re golden-brown and crispy.
4. Make the Honey Sriracha Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Sriracha, soy sauce, and garlic powder until well combined.
5. Coat the Sprouts: Transfer the roasted Brussels sprouts back to the large bowl and pour the honey Sriracha sauce over them, tossing to ensure even coverage.
6. Garnish and Serve: Transfer the coated Brussels sprouts to a serving dish and sprinkle with the sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve hot and enjoy the perfect balance of sweet and spicy!
