Roasted Brussels Sprouts

I really did not care for brussels sprouts until I tried this recipe. It makes the house smell delicious and tastes great. A good friend of mine made them at a dinner party, and I cannot get enough!



Ingredients:
1 lb brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
2 T olive oil
1 T honey
1 to 2 t Sriracha sauce
1 T lemon juice
1/2 t grated ginger
salt & pepper

Directions:
preheat oven to 450 degrees.
peel and grate fresh ginger.
in a medium bowl, combine olive oil, honey, Sriracha, lemon guice, ginger, salt & pepper.
add brussels sprouts to bowl and mix.
place brussels sprouts on lightly greased or aluminum-foil lined baking tray.
cook for 20 minutes or until they begin to turn golden brown, turning brussels sprouts over after 10 minutes.

tips & extras

Measurements - I don't really measure this, so these are approximate amounts. Just combine everything in a bowl based on your taste preference. Quick pour of olive oil, splash of sriracha, squeeze of honey, juice of half a lemon, a bit of ginger, s & p to taste. Adjust based on taste preference and quantity.

Cooking time - Don't undercook the brussels sprouts. They are best when browned. 

Sriracha - Adjusted for taste preference. If you like heat, double or even triple the Sriracha. 

Ginger - If you don't have fresh ginger, you can use a bit of dried or just leave it out completely. I don't think dried ginger is that great of a substitute for fresh.
