How to make Sriracha Sweet Chili Brussels Sprouts:

Recipe Ingredients:

Here’s everything you’ll need to make these sweet and spicy Brussels sprouts along with how to prep the ingredients. See the recipe card below for the exact quantities.

Ingredient Notes and Substitutions:

• Brussels Sprouts: When buying Brussels sprouts, look for bright green heads with tightly packed leaves. They should be firm and heavy for their size. Avoid any with yellowing leaves or black spots. Small sprouts are usually sweeter than large ones. Use within 3 to 4 days of purchasing because they tend to take on a more “cabbagey” flavor the older they get.
• Canola Oil: Use any neutral-flavored oil such as grapeseed.
• Sriracha: Also known as “rooster sauce,” it has become as popular as Tabasco sauce. Sriracha was first produced by a Thai woman in the town of Si Racha, Thailand. It’s made with chili peppers, distilled vinegar, garlic, sugar and salt.
• Sweet Chili Sauce: Also known as Thai sweet chili sauce, this condiment is popular in Thai, Afghan and Malaysian cuisine. It’s made with red chili peppers (often Fresno chile, Thai or red jalapeños), rice wine vinegar, garlic, sometimes fish sauce and sugar.

Step-By-Step Instructions:

• Gather and prep all the ingredients.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Spread the halved Brussels sprouts out on a nonstick baking sheet or line a baking sheet with nonstick aluminum foil.
• Drizzle the oil over the Brussels sprouts, toss to coat and season with salt and black pepper.

• Drizzle Sriracha hot sauce over the Brussels sprouts and toss to coat again.

• Turn the Brussels sprouts so they’re cut side down.

• Roast for 20 minutes or until lightly browned and tender.

• Pour the sweet chili sauce over the Brussels sprouts and stir.Return to the oven for 2 to 3 minutes to heat through then serve immediately.

Chef Tip:

• Because I’m right-handed, I always wear a disposable glove on my right hand when trimming and halving Brussels sprouts because I tend to nick my thumb with the paring knife. I don’t draw blood, but my thumb does start to get sensitive. You could also wear a fingertip cot or place a bandage over your thumb to protect it.
