These have got a little kick. Not too much – but the sriracha imparts the perfect amount of heat to compliment the garlicky peanut and sweet maple flavors. If you aren’t familiar with sriracha, it is the condiment of the moment. I overheard a family member who lives out in California recently comment, “every restaurant here has sriracha on the menu. It’s everywhere!” Well, there’s good reason… it’s totally addictive. Made of chilis, garlic and other spices, it’s a super tasty Asian-style hot sauce.
These brussels would be a great side dish to serve with any Asian inspired meal, or you could add a bit of protein, anything from tofu to chicken, pork or beef, or even shrimp, and serve it on a bowl of rice for a one dish dinner. They’d even be great as an appetizer… perhaps for a playoff game? Just serve them on a platter with toothpicks and some ice cold beer to wash them down, and they are sure to be a hit!

Roasted Brussels Sprouts in a Sriracha Peanut Sauce
Ingredients
- 1 pound brussels sprouts trimmed and halved if large
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 garlic cloves chopped finely or grated
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter either creamy or chunky is fine depending on your preference
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
- 1 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350. Place brussels sprouts on a sheet pan or a large cast iron skillet and toss with the salt and olive oil. Roast in the oven until tender and browned, about 35-40 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the remaining ingredients (garlic, peanut butter, sriracha and syrup).

Thanks so much for this recipe! When I was younger I didn’t like brussels sprouts – I had always had them boiled = mushy and bland! Roasted brussels sprouts are amazingly delicious, even my picky kids love them. I can’t wait to try this dish! Thank you for sharing, I love your blog.

Where can I buy Srirachi sauce?
Hi! You can find Sriracha at any major grocery store (Publix for example). Look for it in the Asian food section with the chili sauces.
