Ingredients
  

1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce

1 tablespoon honey

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

2 green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: Start by washing and trimming the Brussels sprouts. Cut each sprout in half lengthwise to ensure even cooking and a crispy texture.

    Make the Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Sriracha sauce, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined. This mix will provide the perfect balance of heat and sweetness.

      Coat the Brussels Sprouts: Add the halved Brussels sprouts to the bowl with the sauce. Toss them well to ensure that every piece is nicely coated with the spicy honey mixture.

        Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes to ensure the Brussels sprouts cook evenly.

          Air Fry the Brussels Sprouts: Place the coated Brussels sprouts in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded. You may need to work in batches depending on the size of your air fryer. Cook for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to promote even cooking.

            Check Doneness: After 12-15 minutes, check for doneness. The Brussels sprouts should be crispy and golden on the outside. If they need more time, cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, checking frequently.

              Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, transfer the Brussels sprouts to a serving dish. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for an added crunch and freshness. Enjoy your delicious, spicy, and sweet Brussels sprouts as a snack or side dish!
