Brussels Sprouts with Sriracha Honey and Lime

What is it about Brussels sprouts that make even normally non-picky eaters scrunch up their nose and give an “ergh, no thanks.” They’re like cute, little baby cabbages. Why all the hate? I mentioned Brussels Sprouts and my man gave me the dreaded one-eyebrow-lift. But as soon as I mentioned they would be doused in Sriracha, he was in. These little guys turned out surprisingly delicious!  They taste like an egg roll, minus all the extra calories.  Oh yeah, count me in. Sriracha honey lime sauce – you’re spicy, you’re sweet, you’re tart…you get me.

If you have those that cringe at the thought of Brussels sprouts in your house, try this one out on them. You just might make them believers.

  6. 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!

  7. 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!!
