These Honey Sriracha Brussels Sprouts make an excellent side dish — sweet and fiery at the same time!
Well, I’m baaaack – after a long hiatus!
How long has it been now? Weeks? Months? Years? I know I’m super behind but… Happy New Year!
I truly enjoyed being recharged, spending time with my family, and having no agenda except work. I hope you started the new year with a big resolution or with a high note of motivation. Mine is to try to keep it steady with more greens and lean protein and fewer carbs and sugar. And that’s what I did for the first two weeks in January. I have to say I’m feeling my best – so energized and much lighter.
But the challenge was when I traveled to Indonesia last week. It was so hard to find a healthy plate of salad! People over there are so into their carbs – and I used to be one of them. From the morning when I woke up to the moment I went to bed, it was carbs, carbs, and more carbs! We had noodles for breakfast and rice for lunch and dinner, not to mention all of the snacks in between. Gulp! Sure enough, my waistline grew a bit even though I was only there for a week.
So, you can imagine how hard it must be to get back on track. To date, I still cheat a bit here and there because, ahem, carbs are good. So to celebrate my return to clean eating, I’ve been enjoying this honey sriracha Brussels sprouts dish. I don’t know about you, but I do enjoy crispy baked Brussels sprouts. The crispier it is, the tastier it is. Yeah, I’m that girl! And honey mixed with sriracha…who can resist sweet paired with a subtle hint of spicy? They go so well together.
The good thing about this honey sriracha brussels sprouts recipe is that it’s easy to make and doesn’t require much prep time. In fact, if you live near Trader Joe’s, they already have this dish in a microwavable bag. Just toss it in a baking pan, coat it with olive oil and the rest of the ingredients, then place it in the oven until you reach that perfect crispiness. Once it’s out, add lemon juice, and voila! It’s ready for you to enjoy.
Can I make this honey sriracha brussels sprouts in an air fryer?
Yes! Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees. Toss all ingredients, except lemon, in a bowl. Add the brussels sprouts and air fry for 15 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes, or until crispy. Squeeze the lemon juice and enjoy!
If you are brusseling, which I know you are because we go together that way, you must try this cozy, perfect-for-winter comfort food.

Using a sheet pan for veggies is always a win around here. Have thought to put hot sauce on our brussel sprouts but sounds delicious.

These brussel sprouts look delicious! I love putting veggies on a sheet pan and roasting them in the oven. They get crispy and oh so flavorful. I am definitely saving this recipe because it looks and sounds yummy.

I just love Brussels sprouts. I make these very similarly (hoorah for sriracha!) but I love that yours is set apart by the lemon! What a fresh take!
