Brussels Sprouts

• 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt, to taste
• Pepper, to taste

Sauce

• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Garnish

• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
• Chopped green onions, to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s ready for roasting the Brussels sprouts to a crispy golden finish.
2. Prepare the Brussels sprouts. In a large bowl, toss the trimmed and halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper until they are evenly coated, which will help them roast beautifully and develop flavor.
3. Mix the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Sriracha sauce, soy sauce, and garlic powder until fully combined to create a flavorful sticky glaze.
4. Roast the Brussels sprouts. Spread the coated Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
5. Coat with sauce. Once the Brussels sprouts are roasted and crispy, remove from the oven and drizzle the honey Sriracha sauce over them. Toss gently to coat each sprout evenly with the spicy-sweet glaze.
6. Garnish and serve. Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the coated Brussels sprouts for a delightful crunch and fresh color before serving.

Notes

• For extra crispiness, make sure Brussels sprouts are dry before tossing in oil.
• You can adjust the amount of Sriracha to control the spice level.
• Use low-sodium soy sauce if you want to reduce the salt content.
• This dish pairs well with roasted meats or as a flavorful vegetarian side.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
