Ingredients

  • 1 ½ lbs. brussels sprouts trimmed and cleaned
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil (or avocado oil)
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoon hot honey
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoon toasted panko
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and lightly brush a large baking sheet with olive oil.
  • Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add brussels sprouts and cook for 8-10 minutes, until they're fork-tender but not mushy. Drain well and let sprouts dry for a few minutes on a clean towel or paper towel-lined sheet pan. Excess moisture will keep them from crisping up.
  • Place brussels sprouts on prepared baking sheet with about 1" between them. Use the bottom of a glass or a measuring cup to gently smash each one to about ½" thickness.
  • Brush sprouts with olive oil and sprinkle with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through baking time, until sprouts are brown and crispy.
  • Remove from oven and immediately drizzle the hot sprouts with hot honey and lemon juice. Sprinkle with toasted panko and parsley if using. Taste and season with additional salt if needed.
  • Serve right away as these are best enjoyed right out of the oven.

Notes

  • Though these are best when served immediately, you can keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • To re-heat: place sprouts on a baking sheet in the oven at 400 degrees F or in the toaster oven for 8-10 minutes, until warmed through and re-crisped. An air fryer will certainly work, too. To revamp even more, top them with a little more crispy panko and another drizzle of hot honey.
