    Ingredients for sriracha brussels sprouts in various bowls on a worksurface.

    Brussels sprouts - make sure you get nice sized brussels sprouts as they are perfect for this. Sprouts are best after the first frost flavor wise.

    Sriracha - you'll need this Thai sriracha hot sauce, it's packed with flavour, spice and funk. A really delicious addition to these brussels sprouts.

    Honey - the perfect natural medium for sweetness. It lends to caramelization and helps create an amazing glaze.

    Sesame oil - the sesame oil is purely for flavor, it gives a wonderful roasted sesame note throughout the sprouts that you will not want to miss. Make sure you use a toasted sesame oil if you can!

    Fish sauce - this stuff is for flavor too, giving you salty, umami, funky goodness which works so well with all the other ingredients. You can the omit fish sauce if you wish, but we highly recommend keeping it in!

    📖 Customizations

    We know you love to mix things up with customizations, so here are some of our recommendations for our honey sriracha brussels sprouts recipe:

    Adjust the spice - tone down the spice by halving the amount of sriracha in the recipe if you don't like things too spicy. Or add more if you're a heat lover!

    Other veggies - switch out the brussels sprouts or add in other veggies to create some amazing honey sriracha veggies. We suggest using sweet potato, butternut squash and parsnips. YUM.

    Bacon - want to take it to the next level completely? Add in some diced pancetta to roast with the sprouts to add even more flavor.

    Maple syrup - if you wish, you could switch out the honey for maple syrup, but then they obviously wouldn't be honey sriracha brussels sprouts any longer.

    🔪 How to make brussels sprouts

    Follow these simple step by step guides to success for this honey sriracha brussels sprouts recipe:

    Process of making glazed, coating sprouts, prebaked and post baked sprouts on baking sheet.

    3. On a parchment lined baking sheet, spread the brussels sprouts out in one layer, placing them cut side down.

    👩‍🍳 Expert tips

    Make sure to read and follow these expert tips to ensure complete success with this honey sriracha brussels sprouts recipe:

    Parchment - be sure to line your baking sheet with parchment paper, it helps with clean up. The glaze can get baked on pretty hard if you don't.

    Honey - honey burns quite easily, it's high in sugar content so we'd recommend keeping a close eye on the brussels sprouts. Every oven is different, yours may have a hot spot.

    Caramelization - you should have a nice level of caramelization after 20-25 minutes. but if you don't and the sprouts are nice and tender simply broil (grill) for a minute or use a mini blow torch to help you out if you want a bit more.

    Cut side down - No need to flip these as you'll get better caramelization if you don't. Simply does it.

    🍽 What to serve them with

    💭 Recipe FAQs

    How do you take the bitterness out of brussels sprouts?


    The most important way is to ensure you get them in season and after the first frost. Otherwise make sure you use one of our recipes to add flavorings that complement but mask the bitterness.

    How to get good caramelization

    To get a good caramelization when roasting brussels sprouts you need to have the oven at a hot temperature. But to really ensure you get a good color, the key is to use some form of sugar, such as honey, maple syrup or just regular sugar.

    How to reheat


    If reheating these, just place on a lined baking sheet in an oven preheated to 200oC/400oF for 5-10 minutes until nice and hot again. If you wish to use a microwave just reheat at full power for 2-3 minutes but note that they won't be as crispy.

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F.
    • Whisk together the honey sriracha glaze ingredients in a small bowl.
      2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil, ¼ cup runny honey, 3 tablespoons sriracha, 2 tablespoon light soy sauce, 2 teaspoons fish sauce

    Notes

    • Remove any loose single petals of sprouts from the baking tray otherwise they will just burn up.
    • Use parchment paper. This recipe can lead to a rather sticky baked on mess if you don’t.
    • Tone down the heat by reducing the sriracha by half if you struggle with spicy.

      This is my favourite comfort food, I've made it so often, it's always so good. I mean, weird, yes, but omgomg so very good.

      You know in Mulan when Mushu gives her that oatmeal with a bacon and egg smiley face on it and shoves it all in her mouth? I know that's supposed to be congee, which I love a lot. But THIS is what I've always thought of it as being, this exact thing. Plus sprouts.

      It's the best, thank you for posting it
