An incredibly easy and addictive side dish for Honey Sriracha Roasted Brussels Sprouts that finally gives this underrated vegetable the respect it deserves.
Do you know what's messed up?
Brussels sprouts. Specifically, that they don't get the respect they deserve.
Like, seriously. Who decided that carrots and broccoli should get all the attention and made them king of the vegetable kingdom? Messed up, pure and simple.
Brussels sprouts are freaking delicious. Especially when you let them get all golden-brown and caramelized through the insanely difficult and ridiculously time-consuming roasting process. Kidding. Roasting vegetables is the easiest kitchen skill ever. Seriously. Through them on a sheet pan. Place in oven. Done.
And do I have to tell you how delicious a sticky glaze of honey, sriracha, and lime is? I was one step away from chugging it. But then I remembered that I don't know how to chug. Did I ever mention that I loathe beer? Like, can't stand the stuff.
It's a bummer, kind of. I want to like it. I want to be able to enjoy this whole big micro-brew and artisan beer movement going on right now. But I just can't get into it. Wine and liquor it is, I guess.
I tried using a spoon. Then I just said forget it and went the quicker route... direct bowl to sprout contact:
These little guys make for one addictive side dish. I may or may not have actually eaten them as my dinner the day I made them. May or may not. May. Ok, did.

I'm with ya on the love for brussels sprouts...which I'm sure you know 😉 This recipe reminds me of the one in "The Kimchi Cookbook" (Which I know you have also) just minus the kimchi. There is something about spicy + brussels sprouts that = delicious!
Chris says
Hmmm, I honestly haven't even looked in the Kimchi cookbook yet!!! It's sitting on a shelf somewhere. Completely forgot about it... you just made my day. Can't wait to go home and look through it now!!!
Mike says
Chris let's set rule #1 of our wolf pack "Everything taste better with Sriracha"
Agreed?
About these raosted Brussels sprouts, they look simply amazing (and the pictures are so dope too!)
Chris says
Totally agreed Mike. Sriracha is a necessity.
Natalie says
Poor brussel sprouts. They're so good! I'm doing my part by making them at least once a week so they don't feel overlooked. *wink*
And I am obsessed with sriracha lately! these honey srirahca glaze sounds amazing!
Chris says
Hahaha, thanks for doing your part Natalie. We'll change the world, one sprout at a time!
Erin says
Wow. This flavor combination is brilliant. I've only recently discovered the genius of brussels sprouts and I'm hooked--this is such a good way to switch them up. Pinning!
Chris says
Thanks Erin! Hope you're having a great week over there on the west coast!
Ashley says
I always thought I hated brussels sprouts ... holdover from childhood I think. And then I tried them a few months ago ... and they are so good!! Sad I've been missing out all these years. I've got some making up to do, especially with the honey / sriracha combo - that sounds amazing!
Chris says
You need to make up for lost time! I was the same as you... we were silly/stupid in our youth, weren't we?!
Bianca says
I definitely like brussels sprouts way more than carrots! Unless the carrots are in carrot cake... The glaze sounds so good and I can imagine eating an entire bowl of this for dinner, too!
Chris says
Hahahaha... vegetables in dessert is cheating. Hmmm, don't think sprouts will ever get that opportunity.. sprouts in desserts sounds really weird.
Sam says
Oooh, this looks fantastic. I think this recipe will get me to actually try brussel sprouts again, after years of believing I don't like them. Thanks for this!
Chris says
They're yearning for you to give them a second chance Sam! Go for it 🙂
kathy says
I can not wait to try these! I love brussel sprouts!
Chris says
Awesome thanks Kathy! Glad to know you're a fellow lover of the sprouts!
Liz says
PERFECTLY roasted! Since the hubby won't touch Brussels sprouts, I have no objection to also adding the spice which he'd avoid as well! All for me! I hope I can find some at the market this week..thanks!
Chris says
Haha more for you Liz!
Kristi says
Chris I am loving this recipe! But, I gotta tell ya - I thought we were friends. You loathe beer? Man..., I've got to re-think this whole friendship thing. I love beer! Hahahaha! And I can just imagine a nice, icy cold brew with this delicious spicy brussel sprouts dish. Hey...wait a minute. We CAN be friends. Can I have your beer too? 🙂
Chris says
Hahahaha I know, I know. It's crazy, isn't it?! I really with I like beer. Trust me, I do. Haha, sure you can drink up for me!
Helen says
Oh, wow! You've got to be kidding me! These look sooo amazingly crispy and caramelized! And what a cool idea to add those flavours to this too-humble sexy veggie. Definitely pinning this one for later!
Chris says
Thanks Helen! You just made the Brussels sprouts day.. they've never been called the "s" word before!
Alyssa says
These brussels...WHOA. My boyfriend is a guy who thinks brussel sprouts are "boring". I think I definitely need to show him these. He'd absolutely change his mind in a snap!
Chris says
Get that guy on board! If nothing else, he can't deny the deliciousness of honey sriracha haha
Kelly says
These look gorgeous! I LOVE roasted brussels sprouts. Not so much when I was younger but totally obsessed with them as I got older. The honey/ sriracha /lime glaze looks phenomenal - I would be tempted to chug it straight up too - sounds amazing - pinned!
Chris says
Thanks Kelly! Me too... when we were younger we didn't know what was good! I may or may not have had a couple sips of that glaze 😉
David says
Woah...this is my kinda side dish!! I agree that brussels get the short end of the vegetable kingdom stick. But I appreciate that you're changing that...one blog post at a time.
But what's up with you and the beer? If the wolfpack is gonna ride into the 2018 Winter Olympics, I think we're going to need to be fueled by artisan microbrews. Ok, maybe scotch.
p.s. I have that same bowl. Unless that is my bowl and you just stole mine.
Chris says
Haha one post at a time.... one post at a time.
I know, I'm ashamed that I've dishonored the pack. I had a traumatizing experience with a warm Bud back in my younger years. My older bro and his friend made me drink one before allowing me to get on a train with them to see a concert in the city. It was terrifying.
I did steal yours. Come and get it, haha. And bring ice cream.
Pam says
They look so tasty! Love the sweet & spicy kick to them.
Chris says
Thanks Pam!
Beth says
I think I don't like brussels sprouts because I have never had these. Pretty sure these would change my mind. Love the honey and sriracha combo!
Chris says
They would definitely change your mind! It's tough to not like anything drenched in honey and sriracha haha
Christine says
we are TOTALLY on the same honey/sriracha wavelength right now!! absolutely love how crispy and golden those brussels look, I'm dying to dive in!
Chris says
Hahaha yea we are! That's how we roll here in NY!
Tina says
Mmm, I like brussel sprouts and roasting them is my favorite way to go! These look amazingly delicious! I think my husband will go crazy for his sauce. How do you make a vegetable, especially one with a bad rap, look so tasty!? Kudos.
Oh, PS, I'm so glad you mentioned Mike's blog (The Iron You) the other day...I checked it out and he's got some awesome recipes. I love finding new awesome blogs. 🙂
Chris says
So glad you checked out Mike's blog!! He's pretty awesome... glad you two connected!
Layla says
Seriously, These Brussels sprouts are calling my name and I'm coming!! They look amazing!
Chris says
I thought I heard them saying "Layla"... glad it wasn't just me, haha.
Cindy says
I'm not a huge beer drinker, but I do love the aroma of it cooking. When I was in college we had a food science class where we got to make beer to learn the process of yeast fermentation. The entire building smelled of malt. Haha Anyhow, I too am a huge brussels sprouts fan. Roasting them is the best way I have found to convert non-sprout lovers. I've got to try them with this sriracha!!
Chris says
That's a pretty darn cool food science class! Wish I took that in college!!
Melanie says
Sounds superb! Who doesn't love new ways to enjoy veggies?
Chris says
Thanks Melanie!
Nicole ~ Cooking for Keeps says
I agree, brussels sprouts definitely don't get enough love from the general population. I love 'em plainly roasted, but honey and sirracha roasted? Pure brussels bliss!
Chris says
Thanks Nicole! I agree... roasted brussels sprouts are amazing!
cheri says
How clever! I can see us eating a whole lot of these, love the way you caramelized the sprouts too. Yum!
Chris says
Thanks so much Cheri! Happy weekend!
Yankee Kitchen Ninja (Julianne) says
Completely wicked, Chris. Can't wait to make these!
Chris says
Thanks Ninj!
Laura Dembowski says
My love for Brussels sprouts literally knows no bounds. I'm actually roasting Brussels tonight with cauliflower and onion, coated in curry powder. I often eat roasted vegetables for dinner. It's easy, healthy, and delicious!
Chris says
Wow that sounds great Laura! Let's see a recipe for that on Pies and Plots!!!
Consuelo says
Oh yes I'll never understand why brussels sprouts got such a bad rep?? They're by far one of my favorite veggies. Ahh they're so good! Especially if you add sriracha and honey 😉
