Crispy brussels sprouts with almonds and a sweet and spicy glaze. Top with fresh cilantro and you have a superb side dish on your hands.
By Taylor Kadlec
These aren’t just any brussels sprouts. Oh no. These are crispy roasted brussels sprouts tossed with sliced almonds in a warm sweet and spicy glaze made of Sriracha, honey, and soy sauce, and THEN topped with fresh chopped cilantro. Holy cow, these are not just any brussels sprouts. No siree, they are not. 
The inspiration for these came from a new (to me) brewery near my hometown, which I ate at this weekend. That’s how I ended up at the brewery and that is how fate led me to the brewery’s fried brussels sprouts with a spicy Sriracha glaze. Of course I had to recreate them the first chance I got.
I didn’t fry the brussels, but the roasting still got them nice and crispy and I totally nailed the glaze. So yes, these are STOP THE PRESSES good. They’re also ruin-your-dinner good, which seems like a strange thing to do with brussels sprouts but it happened. I couldn’t stop eating them! They’re also super simple and only have one more step than if you were to roast veggies. If you’re a fan of brussels sprouts in even the slightest way, you simply must try these.
