These roasted Honey Sriracha Brussels Sprouts are an easy way to add lots of great flavor to sprouts!

You simply roast up your sprouts, then add the easy honey sriracha sauce so they get beautifully glazed. Add another drizzle of straight-up sriracha sauce if you like it extra hot!

I'll admit that I'm a huge fan of Brussels sprouts. As long as they're cooked right.

That usually means roasting them and including flavor add-ins, but you can also use them as a vegetable ingredient in other creative dishes.

For more ideas, be sure to try Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Balsamic Vinegar, Roasted Frozen Brussels Sprouts, or Roasted Brussels Sprouts Christmas Tree.

They're also incredible in Brussels Sprout Pasta and Creamy Brussels Sprout Filo Pie!

What are Brussels Sprouts?

Brussels Sprouts are a nutritious cruciferous vegetable. They look like little cabbages (and are from the same family). They are edible buds that grow on a tall stalk. Brussels sprouts can taste very sulfurous and bitter if overcooked, so try roasting them as a tasty side dish.

Did you know? Brussels sprouts are named after the Belgian city they were cultivated in during the 16th Century. They're still very popular in Brussels to this day.

Why You'll Love This Recipe

Honey Sriracha Brussels Sprouts takes roasted sprouts to another level with LOTS of great flavor.

Trimming brussels sprouts.

Trim the Brussels sprouts and cut larger ones in half, then place them into a bowl with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Toss to combine.

Roasting sprouts on a rimmed baking sheet.

Spread the Brussels sprouts onto a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer and bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until golden on the edges and cooked through. Smaller sprouts will need less time.

Mixing honey and sriracha in a bowl.

Stir the honey and Sriracha sauce together in a small bowl.

Drizzle the roasted Brussels sprouts with the honey sriracha mixture. Return to the oven for 5 minutes so the sauce caramelizes on the roasted sprouts, then serve warm. If you like it spicier, drizzle with a little extra sriracha sauce!

Recipe tips

Adjust the honey and sriracha ratios to your taste. If you like it sweeter, add more honey. If you like things spicy, add more sriracha!

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a different sweet taste.

If some brussels sprouts are larger, cut them in half through the base so they all cook evenly.

Be sure to trim away any wilted or brown leaves.
