Why I love this spicy brussel sprouts recipe
This recipe is as easy as could be, and the fresh, vibrant honey pairs really well with the Brussels sprouts and it’s a refreshing change of pace for a cold weather vegetable.
I’ve been obsessed with Brussels sprouts for a while now, and I’ve been experimenting with them in all sorts of recipes – from crispy roasted brussels sprouts to brussel sprouts salads – and a few months ago, I made pasta dish from one of my favorite cookbooks that called for orange zest and Brussels sprouts.
I was a little reluctant, but since I was trying to use what I had in my pantry/fridge, I went with it. Turns out, the two pair really nicely together, and I was really impressed with the dish, so I added a little orange zest to finish this recipe off and it’s just the right amount of added pop.
Here’s what you’ll need to make it
How to make honey sriracha Brussels sprouts
Season the brussels sprouts. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the honey, olive oil and vinegar together until smooth. Stir in the garlic, Sriracha and crushed red pepper flakes.
Next, slice the sprouts in half and add them to the mixing bowl. Add the salt & pepper, and stir to coat them in the sauce.
Roast them to perfection. Transfer the sprouts to a baking sheet and roast them in a 400˚F oven for about 20 – 25 minutes. The edges of the sprouts should be crispy and brown and they should be fork tender.
If they aren’t, leave them in the oven for about 5 more minutes.
FAQs: roasted Brussels sprouts
If your Brussels sprouts are soggy, you probably overcooked them, but there’s a chance that your pan was just overcrowded, too.

Just saw your recipe for Warm Brussels Sprout Salad with Orange Miso Dressing. I don’t know much about miso, except the one time I was looking into buying it, there was a red miso and a white miso. Can you tell me which I should look for. Should I look for it at a natural foods store.? Or Whole Foods? Or is miso paste something entirely different than red or white miso?
I can’t wait to make your recipe. I want to use the exact ingredient list you specified.
You can really use red or white miso, whichever you can find. I normally find mine in the international foods section my grocery store (there is a fridge section in the ethnic food aisle at ours, which is where it is). If you’re having trouble finding it, check to see if you have an Asian food market or look for it online.
