3 tablespoons honey

How to Make Hot Honey Brussels Sprouts

1) Prep the Brussels Sprouts

Preheat your oven to 425°F / 220°C. Trim the woody ends off each Brussels sprout and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves. Halve each sprout through the core — the flat cut side is what caramelizes against the hot baking sheet for that incredible golden crust. Pat the halved sprouts completely dry with paper towels — removing moisture is essential for crispiness.

2) Season and Coat

In a large bowl toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until every sprout is evenly coated. Make sure every cut surface has oil on it — this is what creates the caramelization. Spread in a single layer on a large baking sheet cut side down. Do not overcrowd — use two pans if needed.

3) Roast to Crispy Perfection

Roast at 425°F for 20-25 minutes without touching them for the first 15 minutes. This undisturbed roasting time allows the cut side to develop a deep golden caramelized crust against the hot pan. After 15 minutes flip each sprout and continue roasting for another 8-10 minutes until the outer leaves are crispy and the cut sides are deeply caramelized.

4) Make the Hot Honey Glaze

While the Brussels sprouts roast whisk together honey, Chimi Boss Blends Hot Honey Blaze Seasoning, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl until fully combined. The soy sauce adds savory depth, the vinegar adds brightness, and the Hot Honey Blaze delivers that perfect sweet heat combination that makes this glaze so addictive.

5) Toss and Glaze

Remove the crispy Brussels sprouts from the oven and immediately transfer to a large bowl. Pour the hot honey glaze over the top and toss quickly to coat every sprout in the sweet heat glaze. Work fast — the heat from the sprouts helps the glaze cling to every crispy surface.

6) Garnish and Serve

Transfer to a serving platter and finish with sesame seeds, red pepper flakes, sliced green onions, and an extra pinch of Hot Honey Blaze Seasoning. Serve immediately while hot and crispy — these are best enjoyed straight from the oven.

Tips for the Crispiest Hot Honey Brussels Sprouts

• Dry the sprouts completely. Moisture is the enemy of crispiness. Pat every sprout dry with paper towels after halving to remove all surface moisture before tossing in oil.
- Cut side down. Always place Brussels sprouts cut side down on the baking sheet. The flat surface caramelizes directly against the hot pan for maximum golden crunch.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. Give every sprout its own space. Overcrowding traps steam and results in soft, soggy sprouts instead of crispy caramelized ones. Use two pans if needed.
- Don't move them for the first 15 minutes. Resist the urge to stir or flip early — let the cut side sit undisturbed against the hot pan to build that deep caramelized crust.
- Glaze immediately out of the oven. Toss the sprouts in the hot honey glaze while they are still piping hot so the glaze coats every surface perfectly and the sesame seeds stick.

Hot Honey Brussels Sprouts Variations

Hot Honey Bacon Brussels Sprouts

Add 4 strips of thick-cut bacon cut into lardons to the baking sheet alongside the Brussels sprouts. The rendered bacon fat bastes the sprouts as they roast and the crispy bacon pieces throughout take this dish to a completely new level.

Hot Honey Parmesan Brussels Sprouts

After tossing in the hot honey glaze immediately shower the Brussels sprouts with freshly grated parmesan cheese. The heat from the sprouts melts the parmesan into a savory, salty coating that pairs beautifully with the sweet heat glaze.

Air Fryer Hot Honey Brussels Sprouts

Toss the seasoned halved sprouts in the air fryer basket and air fry at 400°F for 12-15 minutes shaking halfway through. Toss in the hot honey glaze immediately and serve. The air fryer delivers incredibly crispy results in even less time.

Hot Honey Brussels Sprout Bowl

Serve the glazed Brussels sprouts over a bed of fluffy white rice or quinoa with sliced avocado, sesame seeds, and an extra drizzle of hot honey for a bold and satisfying plant-based bowl.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftover hot honey Brussels sprouts in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat and restore crispiness spread on a baking sheet and roast at 400°F for 6-8 minutes. Avoid microwaving — it makes them soggy and kills the crispy texture. Add a fresh drizzle of hot honey glaze after reheating for maximum flavor.
