A quick and easy recipe for crispy Brussels sprouts cooked in an air fryer and coated with a sweet and spicy honey sriracha glaze. Perfect as a snack or side dish with a satisfying crunch and bold flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

Instructions

  1. Trim the stem ends and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves from the Brussels sprouts. Cut each sprout in half lengthwise.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved sprouts with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until evenly coated.
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes.
  4. Arrange the sprouts in a single layer in the air fryer basket, cut side down if possible. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
  5. Air fry the sprouts for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket or flipping the sprouts halfway through cooking, until deep golden-brown and crispy.
  6. While the sprouts cook, warm the honey and sriracha together in a small saucepan over low heat or microwave in 20-second bursts until combined.
  7. Transfer the cooked sprouts to a bowl, pour the warm honey sriracha glaze over them, and toss gently to coat evenly.
  8. Serve immediately while the sprouts are still crispy and the glaze is sticky.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure crispiness. Flip the sprouts halfway through cooking for even browning. Warm the glaze before tossing to keep it fluid. Reheat leftovers in the air fryer to restore crispness. For vegan option, substitute honey with maple syrup and use a mild hot sauce instead of sriracha.
