- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/2 pounds Brussels Sprouts
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce
- 2 1/2 tablespoons honey
- salt(optional)
- pepper(optional)
Instructions
Step 1
In a small bowl or glass measuring cup, combine the honey, Sriracha, and lime juice. Set aside.
Step 2
Gently cut off the very end of each Brussels Sprout, leaving most of it intact (this will keep the sprouts from falling apart while they are being cooked).
Step 3
Next cut each one in half length-wise.
Step 4
Add 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat. Place the cut Brussels Sprouts flat side down for about 5 minutes and let them brown. (Be sure to not overcrowd. If all the Brussels Sprouts don’t fit in the pan, sauté a second batch.)
Step 5
Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then rotate the Brussels Sprouts onto their other side in the pan and sprinkle again with salt and pepper. Sauté for 3 more minutes.
Step 6
Drizzle with the honey, Sriracha, lime mixture, and cook about 2 more minutes in the pan.
Step 7
Slide the Brussels Sprouts onto a serving dish and dig in!

Recipe Notes: The Brussels Sprouts should be a little crunchy. If they cook too long they will be bitter.
