Ingredients

Scale

Brussels Sprouts

  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and cut in half
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Honey-Sriracha Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons sriracha
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon rice vinegar or lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: Toss the trimmed and halved Brussels sprouts with vegetable oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Sear the Brussels Sprouts: Heat a large pan over medium heat and place the Brussels sprouts cut side down. Cook for 6-7 minutes or until the sprouts are nicely browned and caramelized on the flat side.
  3. Finish Cooking: Flip the Brussels sprouts and cook for an additional 5 minutes or until softened to your liking. Remove them from the pan and set aside on a plate.
  4. Make the Sauce: Reduce the pan heat to medium-low. In a small bowl, whisk together sriracha, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar (or lemon juice), and garlic powder. Pour this mixture into the pan and heat for about 2 minutes to warm through.
  5. Incorporate Butter: Whisk in the butter until fully melted and the sauce thickens slightly, creating a rich, glossy glaze.
  6. Toss and Serve: Return the Brussels sprouts to the pan, toss thoroughly in the honey-sriracha sauce to coat, and heat for an additional 2-3 minutes before serving immediately.

Notes

  • Oven Method: Roast Brussels sprouts at 400°F (204°C) for 20-25 minutes until crispy, then toss with warmed honey-sriracha sauce before serving.
  • Air Fryer Method: Air fry Brussels sprouts at 375°F (190°C) for 5 minutes, shake the basket, then air fry another 2-3 minutes until cooked to preference before coating with sauce.
  • Adjust the amount of sriracha to modify the spice level according to your taste.
  • Use rice vinegar for a milder tang or lemon juice for a brighter acidity in the sauce.
