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 Brussels Sprouts: Toss the Brussels sprouts with vegetable oil, salt, and pepper to evenly coat them.
  2. Cook Brussels Sprouts: Heat a large pan over medium heat and add the Brussels sprouts, placing the cut side down. Cook for 6-7 minutes until they develop a nice brown sear.
  3. Finish Cooking Brussels Sprouts: Flip the sprouts and cook for another 5 minutes or until they reach your desired tenderness. Remove them from the pan and set aside on a plate.
  4. Make Honey Sriracha Sauce: Lower the 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.
  5. Incorporate Butter: Whisk in the butter until fully melted and the sauce thickens slightly, creating a glossy glaze.
  6. Toss Brussels Sprouts in Sauce: Return the cooked Brussels sprouts to the pan. Toss them in the honey-sriracha sauce to coat evenly. Heat for an additional 2-3 minutes to warm through and meld the flavors.
  7. Serve: Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy your flavorful Honey Sriracha Brussels Sprouts.

Notes

  • You can substitute rice vinegar with lemon juice if preferred for a slightly different acidic note.
  • Adjust sriracha quantity to control the spice level.
  • Use vegetable oil for a neutral flavor, or try olive oil for a richer taste.
  • Ensure Brussels sprouts are cut evenly for uniform cooking.
  • For a crispier texture, avoid overcrowding the pan to allow proper browning.
