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

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!

  5. I actually quite like brussels sprouts, if they are prepared well. I've never cooked with sriracha, though. It sounds really delicious! My opinion is, you can't go wrong with anything that tastes like an eggroll!

  6. I just made this and it was fantastic! I was a little worried because I know brussels sprouts are usually a winter veggie, but I saw them at the store and I couldn't resist. Then I saw your sriracha-infused recipe and was sold on it. Thanks for sharing!!
