Ingredients for Sriracha Honey Glaze

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (360°F).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, ensuring they are well-coated.
  3. Spread them in an even layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  4. While the sprouts are cooking, combine the honey, Sriracha sauce, soy sauce, and minced garlic in a small bowl. Mix until well blended.
  5. Once the Brussels sprouts are done, transfer them back to the bowl. Drizzle the Sriracha honey glaze over the top and toss to coat evenly.
  6. Return the glazed Brussels sprouts to the air fryer basket and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, until they are a lovely golden brown.
  7. Remove from the air fryer, season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if using.
  8. Serve hot and enjoy!

Tips for Perfect Brussels Sprouts

Choosing the right Brussels sprouts: Opt for sprouts that are similar in size for even cooking. Smaller sprouts tend to be sweeter and are better suited for this recipe.

Use fresh garlic: Freshly minced garlic offers a superior flavour than pre-minced versions, making your glaze even more appealing.

Adjust the spice level: More Sriracha for a fiery kick or more honey for a sweeter glaze, customise the sauce according to your preference.
