A quick and easy snack or side dish featuring crispy Brussels sprouts coated in a sweet and spicy honey sriracha glaze, cooked perfectly in an air fryer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450g) Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 1½ tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse 1 pound (450g) of Brussels sprouts and trim the stem ends. Remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Slice each sprout in half lengthwise for even cooking.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved sprouts with 1½ tablespoons olive oil, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon smoked paprika, and salt and black pepper to taste. Toss until evenly coated.
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes.
  4. Place the sprouts in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 12 minutes, shaking or tossing halfway through to brown evenly.
  5. While the sprouts cook, whisk together 2 tablespoons honey, 1–2 tablespoons sriracha, and 1 teaspoon lime juice in a small bowl. Adjust to taste.
  6. After 12 minutes, toss the hot Brussels sprouts with the honey sriracha glaze until evenly coated. Return to the air fryer for an additional 3–5 minutes at 375°F (190°C) to caramelize the glaze.
  7. Serve immediately while warm and crispy.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure crispiness. Toss sprouts halfway through cooking for even browning. Glaze at the end to prevent burning. If using frozen sprouts, thaw and pat dry first. For vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar. Reheat leftovers in air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes to restore crispiness.
