Step-by-Step Instructions
Be sure to read the recipe card below for the full ingredient list and instructions.
(Prep) Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Thoroughly wash and dry the brussels sprouts.
(1) Cut off the stem and slice each brussel sprout in half. It's okay if you lose a few outer leaves.
(2) Place the brussels sprouts on a large baking sheet and toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Arrange so the sliced sides are down. No need for parchment paper, so they'll get a better crust.
Roast for 20 minutes until golden brown.
(3) While they cook, mix up the honey, sriracha, 1 tablespoon water and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Adjust the spice level to your personal preference.
(4) After 20 minutes, pour the honey sriracha mixture on the brussels sprouts and toss right on the sheet pan. Roast for another 5 minutes.
Remove from the oven and enjoy immediately! Top with red pepper flakes for more spice.

Expert Tips
Here are some of my top tips and tricks for the best oven-roasted brussels sprouts:
- Cut into even size pieces. So they cook at the same time.
- Rub the brussels sprouts with your choice of seasoning. Add more than just salt, pepper, and garlic powder if you wish. You can freestyle this!
- Arrange the brussels sprouts cut side down in a single layer for even cooking.
- No need to flip them! The bottoms will get nice and roasty.
- If using smaller brussels sprouts, check them for timing so they don't burn.
- Don't bake with the spicy glaze on for too long, or the sugars will burn.
Frequently Asked Questions
Brussels sprouts can handle a high heat roast without burning too fast. 400ºF to 425ºF is usually best.
You can slice the brussels sprouts earlier in the day, but I would wait until you're almost ready to serve to put them in the oven, otherwise they will lose their crispy and get soggy.
I have not tried baking these in the air fryer, but I don't see why not. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may have to do batches. I would start them off at 370ºF for 15 minutes, since air fryers tend to cook hotter and quicker. Toss with the sauce only after they have some color, then cook for another 3 minutes. Cooking time will vary, so keep checking until they are crispy enough. If they are browning too quickly, turn the temperature down.
These sriracha honey brussels sprouts are an easy 30-minute vegetable side dish that pair well with just about any meal. Enjoy this delicious recipe at the holidays and they are sure to fly off the table. They're a little sweet, a little spicy, and a lotta delicious!
