How to make Oven Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Wash Brussels sprouts in cool water. Trim off ends and then halve through their core.
Place trimmed Brussels sprouts on a large rimmed baking tray in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and toss well.
Roast in preheated 450 degree oven until golden brown with crispy edges.
Honey Sriracha Lime Sauce
Sweet and Spicy Sauce for Brussels sprouts is quick and easy to make with pantry staples. Simply whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, honey (you can sub maple syrup if you’re vegan) and sriracha. Adjust the quantities to suit your taste. I like mine spicy, so I usually go for an extra squirt of sriracha.
Pour the honey sriracha to the roasted brussels sprouts….for a little side dish heaven!
Debra’s Pro Tips
- For crispy brussel sprouts, make sure they are in a single layer on the baking tray. Use more than one tray if needed. If they’re crowded in the pan, they will steam rather than get crisp.
- Use your oldest rimmed baking tray, the one with baked on stains you can’t get off.
- Some of the crispy bits will be stolen right off the baking tray….plan ahead and make more than you need.
- OK…so I know that the roasted brussel sprouts are super tasty as is…but don’t skip the sauce..we’re talking next level brussel sprouts with this tangy, spicy, sweet sauce on top of the crispy sprouts.
MEAL PREP AND STORAGE
- SERVE: This is a simple, healthy side dish to whatever you’re making. These would also be good in a taco shell with some black beans, guacamole and salsa. Delicious when added to a tofu scramble. Or mix in some cooked lentils or beans, add some sauteed greens, sprinkle on some chopped nuts and call it a meal!
- PREP AHEAD: Wash and trim brussel sprouts, then place in a sealed container in the fridge and whisk the honey sriracha and store in a glass jar in the fridge up to 2 days in advance.
- STORE: Store leftovers in sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- REHEAT: Preheat oven to 425. Spread leftovers in a single layer on a rimmed baking tray. Heat for 10-12 minutes until heated through and re-crisped.

📖 Recipe
Roasted Brussels Sprouts: Sweet & Spicy
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. Brussels sprouts
- ¼ cup olive oil divided
- ½ teaspoon coarse sea salt
- 1 Tablespoon sriracha
- 1 Tablespoon honey
- 2 teaspoons lime juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425
- PREPARE BRUSSELS SPROUTS FOR ROASTING: Place in a bowl of cool water. Any debris will float down to the bottom of the bowl, so lift brussels sprouts out and into a colander. Trim off the bottom and then cut through from the head to the tip vertically to cut the sprouts in half.
- Place sprouts on rimmed baking sheet, large enough to hold them in one layer, and toss with 2 Tablespoons of the oil and salt. It's important not to overcrowd, so use 2 baking sheets if needed.
- Roast for 25 minutes, until browned with caramelized edges.
- Meanwhile, whisk together sriracha, honey, lime juice and remaining 2 Tablespoons of oil.
- Use a spatula to move brussels sprouts to serving bowl and pour on the sweet and spicy sauce, to taste.

Ooo I love sweet and spicy brussels sprouts! I’ve never tried making them with sriracha though, that’s a great idea. And I love it when you can prep food ahead of time!

Now this sounds like a great pop of flavor — sriracha and honey! We roast brussels sprouts all the time as a side dish, but I’ve never seasoned them with anything more than garlic, olive oil and pancetta. This is taking me in a whole new direction. I know my family will love this.
Debra Klein
Thanks….what’s not to love?
Debra Klein
Simple and quick tasty addition.
Tina
Oh that sounds interesting. Sriracha, honey and lime, I totally get it. Saving this, definitely need to try this. I was one of those weird kids that actually liked brussels sprouts so finding new recipes is great. Thanks for sharing your recipes!

Yeesss I love that you can prep this the day before. So perfect for those super busy Thanksgiving schedules! The sweet and spicy flavor is something that I love on a lot of different foods, but I’ve never tried on brussels sprouts. Pinning!

Honey, Sriracha, and lime juice. These bad boys have my name ALL over them! I love that combination of flavors, but I’ve never used them to roast veggies before. So good! I think Brussels Sprouts are going to be one the menu over here more often 😉
Debra Klein
Right? Way better than boring!
Debra Klein
Exactly. So good on top of salads or mixed into a scramble….or to eat straight from the fridge.

That’s the whole point….to make them so delicious you’ll be eating more veggies!!

I love brussel sprouts, and this seems like an easy, healthy way to enjoy them! This is such a classic Thanksgiving side dish, but I love that these can be included as part of my meal prep not only for dinner or lunch but added to some eggs for a breakfast twist. Making these tonight!

I think I enjoy them the most as leftovers and part of breakfast…love to start my day getting in a serving of veggies.
Amanda
I am such a fan of brussels sprouts too! We eat them so often, and I also love those crispy leaves that fall off while roasting. I can’t help plucking them from the pan before I even serve the rest of the sprouts. The sweet and spicy twist on these sounds fantastic! I have a bag of brussels in the fridge and think this will be the perfect side for tonight’s dinner!
Debra Klein
One of the many advantages to being the cook…..those crispy leaves (that no one else needs to know about) all for yourself!!
Laura
The sriracha is a brilliant addition!
