Ingredients

1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
½ teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon chipotle powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon maple syrup

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Step 2: In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with the olive oil until evenly coated. Spread them on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, cut side down.
Step 3: Roast for 10 minutes, then flip the sprouts and continue roasting for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Step 4: While the sprouts roast, whisk together the melted butter, chili powder, paprika, chipotle powder, kosher salt, red pepper flakes, honey, and maple syrup in a small bowl to make the sauce.
Step 5: Remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven and immediately toss them in the prepared sauce while still hot.
Step 6: Serve warm and enjoy this flavorful, crispy treat.

Tips & Variations

For extra crispiness, make sure the sprouts are completely dry before tossing with oil.
Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving to brighten the flavors.
Substitute maple syrup with agave nectar or brown sugar if preferred.
Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to control the heat level.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 375°F for about 5-7 minutes to restore crispiness. Avoid microwaving, which can make the sprouts soggy.

FAQs

Can I use frozen Brussels sprouts for this recipe?

While fresh Brussels sprouts yield the best texture and flavor, you can use frozen Brussels sprouts if fresh aren’t available. Be sure to thaw and dry them thoroughly before roasting to avoid excess moisture.

What can I substitute for butter in the sauce?

You can replace unsalted butter with an equal amount of olive oil or a vegan butter alternative to keep the sauce flavorful and accommodate dietary preferences.
