Spicy Honey Glazed Brussels SProut

Spicy honey glazed brussels sprouts are a flavorful side dish that combines the natural sweetness of the sprouts with a hint of heat from the chili pepper infused honey.

Ingredients
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2-3 tablespoons chili pepper-infused honey (adjust to your preferred level of spiciness)
  • 1/4 cup chopped toasted almonds (optional, for garnish)
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2: Prepare the Brussels Sprouts
  • Trim the stem ends of the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half lengthwise.
Step 3: Toss with Olive oil
  • In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil until they are well coated. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 4: Roast the Brussels Sprouts
  • Spread the Brussels sprouts out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Make sure they are evenly spaced and not overcrowded, so they roast rather than steam.
  • Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the Brussels sprouts are tender and have developed a nice golden-brown color. You can toss them once halfway through for even cooking.
Step 5: Glaze with Chili Pepper Honey
  • Once the Brussels sprouts are done roasting, transfer them to a bowl.
  • Drizzle the chili pepper-infused honey over the roasted Brussels sprouts while they are still hot. Start with a couple of tablespoons and adjust according to your desired level of spiciness and sweetness.
  • Toss the Brussels sprouts gently to ensure they are coated evenly with the spicy honey glaze.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
  • If you like, sprinkle the chopped toasted almonds over the glazed Brussels sprouts.  The almonds add a delightful crunch and nuttiness to the dish.
  • Transfer the spicy-honey glazed brussels sprouts to a serving platter and serve hot.
