Ingredients & Substitutions
- Honey: This natural sweetener adds a touch of sweetness to balance out the heat of the sriracha. You can substitute maple syrup or agave nectar if you want to make this vegan.
- Avocado oil: Known for its mild flavor and high smoke point, avocado oil is perfect for roasting Brussels sprouts. If you don't have avocado oil on hand, you can use olive oil or any neutral oil.
- Sriracha: The star of the show, sriracha, brings the spicy kick to these Brussels sprouts. If you're not a fan of heat, you can reduce the amount of sriracha or substitute it with your favorite hot sauce.
- Dijon mustard: If you don't have Dijon mustard, you can use spicy brown mustard as a substitute.
- Lemon (juice and zest): The fresh lemon juice and zest add a bright and citrusy element to the Brussels sprouts. If you don't have a lemon on hand, you can substitute it with lime juice and zest for a slightly different flavor profile.
- Salt and Pepper: Adjust the amount to your liking. Garlic powder and crushed red chili peppers could also be added to your honey sriracha roasted Brussels sprouts.
- Brussels sprouts: The star ingredient! Look for fresh Brussels sprouts that are firm and vibrant green in color. Trim them and cut them in half lengthwise for optimal cooking.
