Brussels Sprouts. Fresh brussels sprouts are best for this recipe they hold up well and keep their crisp.
Honey. Any honey of choice will work well.

Recipe Variations
Brussel Sprouts. You can use frozen brussels if they are thawed and heated. They won't be as crunchy but they will cook a bit faster.
Sriracha. Use any brand or style of hot chili sauce. You can also use chili garlic sauce.
Honey. Maple Syrup will also work.
Butter. Use a plant based or dairy free butter if needed.
Optional Garnishes. Salted peanuts, sesame seeds or fresh chopped cilantro.

Step Two. Spread the brussel sprouts on the cooking sheet in an even layer. Place in the oven for 15 -20minutes. Be sure to toss once or twice throughout the baking process. Make sure to check the sprouts, oven temps vary greatly.
Step Three. While the brussel sprouts are baking, add the butter and garlic to a large skillet. Melt the butter in the skillet on medium heat. Turn the heat to low.
Step Four. On the lowest heat, add sriracha, honey and mix well for 1 minute. Turn off the heat off, add the peanut butter and mix in well.
Step Five. Pull the brussel sprouts from the oven, pour the honey sriracha sauce over them, mix well to ensure everything is coated well. Pop back into the oven for about 4-6 minutes and then serve and enjoy. Feel free to garnish with salted peanuts if you's like!
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container for up to 4 days. To reheat, just microwave for 1 minute.
Recipe FAQs
Adjusting the spiciness is easy. You can increase or decrease the amount of Sriracha sauce in the glaze to suit your taste preferences. Start with a smaller amount and gradually add more until you reach the desired level of heat. Remember that you can always taste-test and add more, but you can't easily reduce spiciness once it's too hot for your liking.
While Brussels sprouts are best when served fresh and hot, you can prepare the components ahead of time to save some effort. Roast the Brussels sprouts and prepare the glaze separately. When you're ready to serve, reheat the Brussels sprouts in the oven or on the stovetop and then toss them with the honey Sriracha glaze.
Yes, make honey Sriracha Brussels sprouts on the stove top, just cook them on medium heat in a large skillet with oil until they are browned and softened. Toss them in the glaze on the skillet and bring them to heat before serving.
Recipe Tips
Monitor Cooking Time: Keep a close eye on the Brussels sprouts as they roast. They should be tender on the inside and have crispy, caramelized edges. Stir or flip them halfway through the cooking time for even browning. If the singular leaves burn, you can remove them from the cooking sheet.
Use Parchment Paper or a Silpat: Line the baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat (silicone baking mat) to prevent sticking and make cleanup much easier.
Spread in a Single Layer: Make sure the Brussels sprouts are spread out in a single layer on the baking sheet. Crowding them can result in uneven cooking.
Adjust Spiciness: If you're sensitive to heat, start with a small amount of Sriracha sauce and gradually add more to reach your desired level of spiciness. I like to add extra sriracha before serving for a kick and for more color.
Garnish Creatively: Garnish the finished dish with crushed roasted peanuts for a delightful crunch and fresh cilantro leaves for a burst of freshness. These additions add both texture and flavor.
