Brussels Sprouts with Sriracha Honey and Lime

Don't be afraid! They're just tiny, little cabbages. 

Ryan was unsure when I first uttered the words: Brussels Sprouts. But as soon as I mentioned that I would be dousing them in Sriracha, he was more than willing to try 'em. And they turned out to be outrageously good! Now I can't wait to drizzle other veggies with this Sriracha honey lime sauce. It almost tastes like an eggroll, minus all those extra calories.

If you have non-believers-in-Brussels-sprouters in your house, try this one out on them. You just might make them believe...

Pan-Fried Brussels Sprouts Tossed in a Sriracha Honey Lime Sauce

Adapted from Authentic Suburban Gourmet

Ingredients

• 1 lb. brussel sprouts
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 Tbsp. Sriracha
• 3 Tbsp. honey
• 1 Tbsp. lime juice
• salt

Directions
Trim the ends off the Brussels sprouts and then cut each one in half. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add Brussels sprouts to pan cut side down (Careful: hot oil may splatter!) and season with salt. Fry until golden brown.

In a small bowl, whisk together Sriracha, honey, and lime juice. Taste and add more Sriracha to desired heat level. Remove Brussels sprouts and add to a bowl. Toss with Sriracha mixture. Serve while it's still hot!
