Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Sriracha

By sidecars

Ingredients

• What you’ll need (serves 3-4 side dishes):
• 1 bushel of brussels sprouts (pictured)
• 1 tablespoon of Sriracha to drizzle
• 1/2 a lemon
• 2-3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper
• Some red pepper flakes for garnish, if you like it even hotter

Preparation

Step 1

Time to get fired up. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Wash your brussels and slice off the ends.

Place the sprouts face down on a baking sheet (this helps gives them that evenly distributed gorgeous caramelized slightly burnt look).

Place the tray into the 400 degree oven for about 20 to 30 minutes or until the loose leaves become crispy and the insides of the brussels are tender. Using a spatula, turn them about halfway through the cooking process. Lately I have found the time to be MUCH less than other recipes have shown. Check them after 15 minutes or so.

Drizzle the roasted sprouts with lemon and some Sriracha. A sprinkle of red pepper flakes adds additional heat — if you can take it. Fire away!
