2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp sriracha
¼ cup honey
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Place halved Brussels sprouts in a large pan over medium heat. Add ½ cup water, cover, and steam for 5 minutes until softened and water evaporates.
- Add olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and stir to coat.
- Increase heat to high and arrange sprouts cut-side down. Cook undisturbed for several minutes until golden and crispy. Stir and repeat as needed.
- Reduce heat to low and add sriracha, honey, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until evenly coated.
- Let the glaze simmer for 1–2 minutes until thickened.
- Serve hot and enjoy.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, roast sprouts in the oven at 425°F for 20–25 minutes before tossing with glaze.
- Add sesame seeds, chopped peanuts, or a squeeze of lime for garnish.
- Swap honey with maple syrup or agave for a vegan option.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in a skillet or oven for best texture; avoid microwaving.
