# Ingredient List:

→ Brussels Sprouts

01 - 1½ lbs Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

→ Sauce

02 - 3 tbsp honey
03 - 2 tbsp Sriracha sauce
04 - 2 tbsp soy sauce (use tamari for gluten-free)
05 - 1 tbsp rice vinegar
06 - 1 tbsp olive oil
07 - 2 cloves garlic, minced

→ For Roasting

08 - 2 tbsp olive oil
09 - ½ tsp kosher salt
10 - ¼ tsp black pepper

→ Garnish (Optional)

11 - 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
12 - 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro or scallions

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, toss Brussels sprouts with 2 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper until well coated. Arrange them cut side down on the prepared baking sheet.
03 - Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy on the edges.
04 - While Brussels sprouts roast, whisk together honey, Sriracha, soy sauce, rice vinegar, olive oil, and minced garlic in a small bowl.
05 - Once Brussels sprouts are done, transfer them to a large bowl. Drizzle with the honey Sriracha sauce and toss to coat evenly.
06 - Return the glazed sprouts to the baking sheet. Roast for an additional 3-4 minutes to caramelize the sauce slightly.
07 - Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and chopped cilantro or scallions, if desired. Serve immediately.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • That perfect balance where honey tames the heat just enough to keep you coming back for more
  • The way the sauce gets sticky and almost candylike in the oven
  • Even vegetable skeptics change their minds after one bite
02 -
  • Dont overcrowd the baking sheet or the sprouts will steam instead of roast. Use two sheets if needed.
  • The sauce thickens fast in the oven so watch closely during that final 4 minutes to prevent burning.
03 -
  • Use a rimmed baking sheet to prevent any sauce drips from burning in your oven
  • Prep all your sauce ingredients before the sprouts come out of the oven
