Honey Sriracha Brussels Sprouts Recipe

Honey Sriracha Brussels Sprouts Recipe

We cooked up a batch of my favorite honey sriracha sauce recently, and there are so many ways to use it! It's great for wings and glazing anything on the grill, but one of our favorite ways is adding some "voom" to veggies.

It's great for adding zip to roasted carrots, grilled zucchini, or your favorite medley, but one dish that truly stands out is Honey-Sriracha Brussels Sprouts.

They are delicious! There is something about the sweet and spicy combination honey and sriracha that really shines when it comes to brussels sprouts. We just can't get enough of them.

Why You'll Love This Dish

  • The one-two punch of sweet and spicy truly bring brussels sprouts to a whole new level of flavor.
  • The recipe cooks up quickly all in one pan with a simple combination of ingredients.
  • It's the ideal side dish that pairs with many meals, and it's perfect for the holidays.

Let's talk about how to make honey sriracha brussels sprouts, shall we? Sweet and spicy brussels sprouts are the best!

The full ingredients list with measurements is listed in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post.

  • Brussels Sprouts. The star of the show! Trim off the outer leaves.

How to Make Honey Sriracha Brussels Sprouts - the Recipe Method

Season the cut brussels sprouts with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.

Cook the brussels sprouts in a heated pan on the stove top until nicely browned. It should only take a few minutes.

Flip the brussels sprouts and cook another few minutes, or until cooked just the way you like them, and golden brown.

Set the brussels sprouts onto a plate for now and use the same pan to make your sauce.

Just whisk together the sriracha, honey, and other sauce ingredients and warm it up in the pan.

Whisk in butter to thicken the honey-sriracha sauce.

Toss in your brussels sprouts to warm them through and coat them up in your awesome sauce.

Boom! Done! Your honey-sriracha brussels sprouts are ready to serve. Don't they look saucy and delicious! I'm ready to dig in!

Recipe Tips & Notes

  • Prefer oven roasted brussels sprouts? Alternatively, roast them in the oven on a sheet pan or baking sheet at 400 degrees F for 20-25 minutes, then toss with your warmed honey-sriracha sauce before serving.
  • Cooking times can vary based on the size of your brussels sprouts. Smaller sprouts can be cooked whole. The best way to test them for doneness is to poke them with a fork.

Storage & Leftovers

Honey sriracha brussels sprouts will last up to 5 days in the refrigerator in a sealed container. You can warm them on the stove top in a pan, or in the microwave, or air fryer to enjoy again.

I do not recommend freezing this dish, as it can affect the overall texture.

That's it, my friends. I hope you enjoy this honey sriracha brussels sprouts recipe. Let me know if you make it. I'd love to hear how it turned out for you, and if you served them up!

    We just bought some “hot honey” from Costco and it has quite a kick. I think I’ll try your recipe with this. We’ve tried several of your recipes and have loved them all!

    Yesterday after I emailed you and said I was going to make this, Mary called and we had to meet them in Janesville for dinner. Incredibly, when we finished dinner and were leaving Amber and her maid of honor Emily showed up so we spent an additional 45 minutes there.
    .
    Anyway, I made several mistakes on dinner tonight, but aside from a messed up kitchen and stove it was an awesome dinner. The Brussels Sprouts were the highlight and Connie liked them even though one of my mistakes was too much sauce sine I only used 14 sprouts and all of the other ingredients for a full pound.
    .
    Thanks for a great side dish!

    Hi Mike - I always look forward to your emails.
    Just realized your Brussel Sprout recipe calls for sriracha sauce not peppers. Glad I read comments before starting.
    Sounds delicious.

      Thanks, Denise. Sorry for any confusion. The title does say "Honey-Sriracha Brussels Sprouts Recipe", and sriracha is made from peppers. I hope you enjoy it!

    Awesome - made this last night via the oven method. I did sub a low carb honey & and coco aminos sauce (in place of the soy) and it came out great. Definitely putting this into our meal rotation. 🙂

    Made this tonight. It was ok at first but not great. We both realized we’ve only had savory sprouts no sweet. Got better as we ate, turned out to be pretty good. I think the key is the quality of the sriracha sauce. My sauce was store bought and on the sweet side with minimal heat. Will do this again with more vinegar and more heat.

    can I use frozen Brussel sprouts?

      You sure can, Cindy! They are usually softer, so don't take quite as long to cook.

    This looks really good. We will have to try it. One question! Are small or baby Brussels Sprout sweeter and more tender? That seems to be my experience.

      Thanks, Ed! The smaller ones are generally more tender, and some people do find them a touch sweeter, though they can be milder. Enjoy!!!
