These Honey Sriracha Brussels Sprouts are quite possibly the best sprouts I’ve ever had. And in the words of Junie B. Jones (Moms and little girls will know who that is)… ‘that’s not bragging, you can ask anyone’.

You know when you go to a restaurant and they make those super dark, super crispy, super flavourful deep fried brussels sprouts that taste like you died and went to heaven when you eat them but that you’ll never make at home because nobody ever likes deep frying anything at home?

These are just as good. Easily. I promise.

Crispy, spicy, sweet and savoury. They are beyond delicious. Am I overselling them? You tell me after you try them.

You can use any heavy skillet for this recipe, but a cast iron pan is my favourite way to cook brussels sprouts. It keeps my oven free and gets nice and hot to easily and quickly get the sprouts brown and crisp.

The cashews are totally optional and let me tell you the real truth about why I added them… so I could call this a meal. Last time I made these I literally stood at the counter and inhaled most of them straight out of the pan. Then I hid the rest in the fridge and ate them the next day. My family never even saw them.

I won’t judge you if you don’t share them either.
