Ingredients

For the Brussels Sprouts

To make the Brussel sprouts you simply need a pound of Brussels sprouts with the ends trimmed off, salt, and pepper.

For the Sauce

The sauce for this bang bang Brussels sprouts recipe firstly consists of mayo, sriracha sauce, and sweet chili sauce. Beyond that you’ll need olive or avocado oil, minced garlic, and the juice from half a lime which equates to about 2 tablespoons.

How to Make Bang Bang Brussel Sprouts

Start this recipe by preheating the oven to 425 degrees F. If you have larger Brussel sprouts cut them into quarters and if they are smaller cut them in halves.

Next, line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat one with nonstick cooking oil or spray.

Spread out the Brussel sprouts in a single layer on the baking sheet and sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over the top.

Then, in a small bowl, whisk all of the sauce ingredients together until it is well combined and smooth. Drizzle half of the sauce mixture over the Brussels on the baking sheet and toss them around a bit to get them coated.

Arrange the newly sauced Brussel sprouts back into a single layer on the baking sheet and place them in the oven for fifteen minutes.

Remove the Brussel sprouts from the oven and toss them with the last half of the bang bang sauce. Again, arrange the Brussels into a single layer and place back into the oven for an additional 15-20 minutes or until your desired level of crispness.

Alternate Cooking Option

Another option for cooking is to toss the Brussel sprouts with half of the bang bang sauce and cook for the full 30 minutes. With this method you retain the last half of the sauce for dipping if that’s more your style.
