- Butter: Either salted or unsalted will work for this.
- Soy sauce: Regular or low sodium soy sauce would work.
- Lemon juice: Juice from a fresh lemon juice works best, but bottled lemon juice would work too. If you don't have a lemon, lime juice would be a great alternative.

Step by Step Instructions
Here is how to make these Brussels sprouts.
STEP 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper.
STEP 2: Trim the bottoms off the Brussels sprouts and slice them in half. Place the Brussels sprouts on the prepared sheet pan.
STEP 3: Drizzle the Brussels sprouts with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Using your hands, move the Brussels sprouts around to ensure they are evenly coated.
STEP 4: Turn each Brussels sprout over so that it is cut side down in a single layer on the sheet pan.
STEP 5: Place the sheet pan in the oven and roast the Brussels sprouts in the 400°F oven for 25-27 minutes or until they are lightly charred.
STEP 6: While the Brussels sprouts are roasting in the oven, prepare the honey Sriracha sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the honey, Sriracha, butter, soy sauce, and lemon juice.
STEP 7: Heat the sauce over medium heat until boiling. Then reduce the heat to low and cook until the sauce is thickened, about 5-7 more minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
STEP 8: When the Brussels sprouts are done, remove them from the oven and immediately drizzle them with the honey Sriracha mixture.
STEP 9: Give the Brussels sprouts a stir to coat them evenly in the sauce. Sprinkle generously with flake salt.
STEP 10: Serve on the baking sheet or transfer to a serving bowl.
Expert Tips
Drizzle the Brussels sprouts with as much of the sauce as you would like. You may have some leftover.
Use leftover sauce for an additional batch of Brussels sprouts, on grilled chicken or other vegetables, like broccoli!
FAQ

Yes, it definitely provides some heat to the Brussels sprouts. You could reduce it by one teaspoon for less heat or increase it by one teaspoon at a time to add even more. Taste the sauce and adjust as needed before it begins to boil.

These Brussels sprouts are best when served and eaten right away. If there are any leftovers, they could be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.

Hi Michelle: Could you please email me your great Honey Sriracha Brussel sprouts recipe as I can't print it off this cell phone I'm using! As a side note, I s absolutely HATED Brussel sprouts when I was a kid but my Mom made me sit at the dinner table until I ate ALL 5 that she had put on my dinner plate so I sat there and sat there and sat there without eating them until she told me that she could "wait me out" and so, finally, I ate all five of them over a period of time & with many glasses of milk to wash them down as fast as I could but, guess what, I've very much enjoyed eating Brussels sprouts for many of my adult years now and have a couple of favorite recipes for them but am REALLY looking forward to using this one of yours as soon as I get it in your email so I'll be watching for it soon, O.K?
Thanks much, Bob Stack in NorCal
