Honey Sriracha Brussels Sprouts
These honey sriracha brussels sprouts are sweet, spicy, and caramelized. They're a quick and easy side dish that's ready in less than 30 minutes. You can customize the heat level as desired.
Equipment
- large 12-inch skillet
Ingredients
- 1 pound small brussels sprouts Note 1
- 1½ tablespoons olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
For the sriracha sauce:
- 1½ tablespoons sriracha sauce Note 2
- 1½ tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1½ teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 garlic clove, minced
Instructions
- Trim the ends off the brussels sprouts, then cut them in half lengthwise. Discard the ends, and transfer the brussels sprouts to a bowl. Set aside.
- Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 ½ tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet.
- In a separate bowl. combine the sriracha, honey, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, vinegar, and minced garlic. Set the sauce aside.
- Once the skillet is hot, add the brussels sprouts. Use a spatula to spread them around in an even layer.
- Let the brussels sprouts cook for 4 minutes undisturbed. Stir them, then let them cook for 4 more minutes without touching them. Season them with kosher salt and pepper.
- Stir, then cook for a few more minutes, until the brussels sprouts are mostly cooked. Add the sriracha sauce to the skillet and cook for 2 more minutes, stirring occasionally so the sauce doesn't burn.
- Transfer the brussels sprouts to a serving dish and enjoy immediately.
Notes
Note 1: My brussels sprouts were small. If you have big ones, either cut them into quarters or cook them a few extra minutes.
Note 2: These are on the spicier side. For more sweet and less heat, reduce the amount of sriracha sauce.
