Kids hate veggies? Make them ASK to eat their veggies by serving these Fried Brussels Sprouts with Honey Sriracha Glaze. Crispy and sweet this recipe made me a believer. My family couldn’t believe I passed up dessert for a second helping of veggies! Now if I could get the left overs from permeating the fridge. Leave out the Sriracha if spicy is an issue.

Kids hate veggies? Make them ASK to eat their veggies by serving these Fried Brussels Sprouts with Honey Sriracha Glaze!
Ingredients
- Olive Oil, For Frying
- 1 pound Brussels Sprouts, Dry, Trimmed And Halved At Room Temperature (Not Refrigerated Or Damp)
- 1 Red Fresno Chili, Thinly Sliced
- FOR THE HONEY SRIRACHA GLAZE:
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable Oil
- 1 clove Garlic, Minced
- 1/3 cup Honey
- 1 Tablespoon Sugar
- 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice, Plus The Zest
- 2 Tablespoons Rice Vinegar
- 2 Tablespoons Sriracha
- Kosher Salt To Taste
Instructions
- Fill a large pot with a few inches of Extra Virgin Olive oil. Fit with a thermometer and heat oil to 400ºF. Meanwhile, make the sauce.
- In a pan, add vegetable oil and garlic over medium heat. Cook for 1–2 minutes until garlic is barely golden. Add honey and the sugar and then lemon juice, zest and rice vinegar. Whisk together and simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Whisk in the Sriracha and remove from heat. Season to taste with kosher salt.
- When the oil is 400ºF, add 1/2 of the Brussels sprouts and turn the heat to high. Stir sprouts while they are frying. When they float to the top and have a nice golden brown color, about 3 minutes, remove them with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a paper-towel-lined sheet tray. Sprinkle lightly with kosher salt and bring oil temperature back to 400ºF. Add remaining half of the sprouts to the oil and repeat the process, adding the chilis in the last minute of frying the second batch.
- Add all of the sprouts and chili to a bowl and drizzle with the sauce right before serving hot.
Notes
The temperature of the oil is very important. If the temperature is low or the Brussels sprouts are cold or damp, it will bring the temperature down too low and the sprouts will be soggy, not crispy!

Honey is such a healthy and natural sweetener. I am trying to switch it from sugar in my recipes. Glad you like sprouts, Lianne! have a wonderful week.
The hubby and I love sprouts and the kids are even coming round to the idea. We had our first sprouts of the season today! x
The kids will think these sprouts are candy. That may be a good or a bad thing. Enjoy them either way. Have a wonderful week.

I am surprised how many here love brussels sprouts. I am not a lover of them but I did try them again recently and they were quite good. I am sure with your recipe they would be a lot better.

Oh, we love roasted or sauteed brussel sprouts and this honey sriracha glaze sounds so delish! I’ve pinned and yummed it so I can come back to it. Recently we roasted brussel sprouts and took them to my parents for dinner. My mom doesn’t like them, normally. But one taste and she was hooked! LOL I’ll use your recipe next time.
I would rather be in the hospital than eat brussls. Until these! I could make a meal out of them.

Thank you Bev for sharing your thoughts.
We are brussel sprouts NUTS in my house, and this is going into the rotation of recipes! How hot is a Fresno chile? I can eat Sriracha out of the bottle, so if Fresno chiles aren’t psycho hot, I can handle it. If they’re ghost pepper hot, I am a wimp. LOL! Pinned and ready for this dandy of a recipe! Thank you for sharing with #ShareTheJoyLinky, Marilyn! We love your recipes!
You are too kind Regina. This is as spicy as you want to make. I can’t tolerate extra spicy any more, so I make this when I need a good cry!
Yum, I love brussel sprouts. I will have to try this!
I hope you enjoy it Sara.
