- 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved - 2 tablespoons honey - 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce - 1 tablespoon olive oil - 1 teaspoon garlic powder - Salt and pepper to taste - 1 tablespoon sesame seeds - Chopped green onions The main ingredients for my Honey Sriracha Brussels sprouts are simple yet packed with flavor. First, you need fresh Brussels sprouts. I love using a pound of them, as they get nice and crispy. Next, grab some honey and Sriracha sauce. They create a sweet and spicy mix that makes these sprouts irresistible! For the sauce, just two tablespoons of each will do. You'll also need olive oil and garlic powder. They help with flavor and texture. Don't forget salt and pepper to taste! If you want to add a little extra flair, sesame seeds and chopped green onions make great optional garnishes. They add color and crunch to your dish. This mix of ingredients ensures each bite bursts with flavor. Enjoy cooking! Start by trimming the ends of the Brussels sprouts. This step removes tough parts. Next, cut each sprout in half. This helps them cook evenly. Place the halved Brussels sprouts in a large bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste. Toss everything well. Ensure each sprout is coated nicely. This will enhance the flavor. In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of honey, 2 tablespoons of Sriracha sauce, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder. Whisk until these ingredients blend well. This sweet and spicy sauce gives the Brussels sprouts their unique taste. You can adjust the Sriracha if you want more heat. First, preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C). This step ensures even cooking. Place the coated Brussels sprouts in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You might need to do this in batches. Air fry for 12-15 minutes. Check for crispiness and tenderness. It’s key to shake the basket halfway through. This action allows for even crispiness on all sides. To get that perfect crispy bite, keep the Brussels sprouts in a single layer. This allows hot air to flow around each piece, making them crispier. If you overcrowd the basket, they may steam instead of fry. For the best results, I recommend using an air fryer with a good airflow design, like the Philips Airfryer or the Ninja Foodi. These models work wonders for even cooking. Want to adjust the spice level? You can add more or less Sriracha based on your taste. If you like it super spicy, feel free to double the Sriracha. To boost the flavor even more, use fresh minced garlic instead of garlic powder. Fresh garlic adds a great punch and aroma to the dish. Just remember to sauté it briefly with the sauce to release its oils and flavor. {{image_2}} You can switch things up by using maple syrup instead of honey. This change makes it vegan-friendly. Maple syrup adds a rich, sweet flavor. You might like it even more! Another option is to add balsamic vinegar. Just a splash can give extra depth. This addition enhances the sweet and spicy mix. It creates more layers in taste. If you do not have an air fryer, you can roast the sprouts in the oven. Preheat to 400°F (200°C) and cook for 20-25 minutes. Make sure to toss them halfway for even cooking. You can also try stovetop sautéing. Heat a pan over medium heat and add olive oil. Sauté the Brussels sprouts for about 10-15 minutes. Stir often until they turn golden and tender. This method gives a nice caramelized flavor. To keep your cooked Brussels sprouts fresh, place them in an airtight container. Store them in the fridge for up to 3 days. Make sure they cool down before sealing. This helps keep them crispy. When it’s time to eat, reheating is easy. You can use the air fryer or microwave. For the air fryer, heat them at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes. This brings back their crunch. If you use the microwave, cover them with a damp paper towel. Heat in short bursts until warm. If you want to save some for later, freezing is a great option. First, let the cooked Brussels sprouts cool completely. Then, spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Freeze for about 1 hour. This prevents them from sticking together. After that, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. They can last up to 3 months in the freezer. When you're ready to eat, thaw them overnight in the fridge. Reheat using the air fryer for best results. Heat at 350°F for about 8-10 minutes until hot and crispy again. To make Brussels sprouts crispy, start by trimming and halving them. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper. This helps them get a nice coating. Spread them in a single layer in the air fryer. Cook at 390°F for 12-15 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through cooking. This ensures even crispiness. Yes, you can use frozen Brussels sprouts. However, they may not get as crispy. Thaw and drain them first. Pat them dry with a towel to remove extra moisture. Then, follow the same steps as fresh sprouts. Adjust cooking time as needed. You can pair these sprouts with many dishes. They go well with grilled chicken or fish. Try them with rice or quinoa for a complete meal. They are also great as a side for tacos or sandwiches.
