Honey sriracha Brussels sprouts are tossed in a sweet, spicy glaze and roasted until caramelized and tender. This simple side dish adds bold flavor to weeknight dinners and holiday meals alike. The honey-sriracha mixture browns in the oven, coating each sprout with a sticky, savory finish that balances heat and sweetness for a crowd-pleasing bite.
Roasting is one of the best ways to transform Brussels sprouts: it crisps the outer leaves while keeping the centers tender and brings out their natural sweetness. The honey-sriracha glaze amplifies those flavors, creating a sticky coating that caramelizes on the sprouts for a savory, slightly spicy finish.
This recipe uses pantry-friendly ingredients and only a few minutes of prep time to deliver a flavorful, golden-brown side dish that pairs well with many mains.
Why This Recipe Works
The honey and sriracha combine to make a glaze that’s sweet, spicy, and pleasantly sticky. Roasting concentrates the sprouts’ flavor and creates a contrast between crisp outer leaves and a soft interior. The recipe is quick, easy, and versatile—perfect for an easy weeknight side or a flavorful addition to a holiday spread.

Ingredients
To make honey sriracha Brussels sprouts you’ll need simple ingredients most kitchens already have. Choose sprouts that are similar in size so they roast evenly.
- Brussels sprouts: 1 to 1½ pounds, trimmed and halved for even roasting.
- Olive oil: About 2 tablespoons to help the outer leaves crisp. Avocado oil can be used as an alternative.
Honey Sriracha Glaze
- Honey: 2½ tablespoons for sweetness.
- Soy sauce: 1 tablespoon for salty, umami depth.
- Lime juice: 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed for a touch of acidity.
- Sriracha: 1 to 2 teaspoons for heat (adjust to taste).
- Garlic: ½ teaspoon garlic powder or 1 minced garlic clove for savory flavor.
Honey Sriracha Brussels Sprouts Recipe
Follow these steps to roast perfectly glazed Brussels sprouts. Detailed ingredient amounts and timings are provided in the recipe card below.
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Trim the stem ends and halve the Brussels sprouts. Toss them with olive oil and spread in a single layer on a sheet pan. Roast until fork tender and slightly charred—time will vary based on sprout size.
While the sprouts roast, whisk together honey, soy sauce, lime juice, sriracha, and garlic in a small bowl. When the sprouts are fork tender, remove them from the oven and toss with the glaze. Return the pan to the oven for about 5 minutes so the glaze caramelizes and coats the sprouts.
After the final roast, transfer the glazed Brussels sprouts to a serving bowl and enjoy warm. The result is a lively side with balanced sweet heat and rich, caramelized edges.
Tips for Best Results
- Select Brussels sprouts of similar size for even cooking; very small sprouts may only need about 10 minutes roasting time.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days.
- For extra crispness, arrange sprouts cut side down on the baking sheet before roasting.
- Line the baking sheet with parchment paper or use a baking mat for easier cleanup.
