Sriracha Lime Brussels Sprouts

It’s Recipe Redux time!  This month’s theme is Spicy, we are bring’n health and Spice together in the New Year!  And this year is gonna be a Sizzler!  I am using one of my favorite Sizzlers here – Sriracha Sauce!  For those who haven’t tired Sriracha, it is a very flavorful chili sauce with a vinegary tang that I love.  It does have a little sugar, but a little goes a long way so I am not too concerned with it.

I actually got the idea for this recipe while out to dinner with my husband and some friends, we ordered Sriracha Roasted Brussels Sprouts…and man were they delish.   So because I love all things cruciferous and love spicy, I had to replicate this at home! Actually, my original idea was for simple roasted brussels sprouts tossed in a sriracha vinaigrette…but some how I found myself tossing my sprouts with some fresh chopped cilantro and adding a squeeze or two of lime…and I am happy with the results, also the lime evened out the spice of the chili sauce so they kids were able to eat it too! Love Happy “Accidents”!

Enjoy!

First cut the stem off your sprouts and half them.  Discard any wrinkly or brown leaves, but leave the good-lookin single leaves, I love when they get really roasted and crunchy.  Mix up the Sriracha Vinaigrette Dressing (ingredients below in the recipe) and pour this on top.

Toss the brussels sprouts to make sure they are all coated.  Feel free to get your hands dirty, sometimes thats the only way to get the job done!

Sorry for the weird picture…not sure why it’s so tiny! 😉

Roast at 400degrees for about 15-20minutes.  Check them after 15min, just to make sure they aren’t getting too crispy…walkin’ a fine line between deliciously crispy and brunt. 😉

And Voila, hope you Enjoy it!
