Chili Honey Lime Roasted Brussels Sprouts

You’ll love the savory sweet flavor of these Chili Honey Lime Roasted Brussels Sprouts! Tender with crispy edges and Southwest flavor, they’ll be your new favorite way to roast brussels sprouts!

Roasted brussels sprouts are one of my favorite vegetables. I constantly have to remind myself when I start eating them hot off the sheet pan that while delicious, they are essentially mini cabbages. Loaded with fiber and other things that can lead you to regret eating the whole sheet pan later on, if you know what I mean.

The amount of love that I have for brussels sprouts you can times by ten and that’s how much my husband hates them. I’ve tried serving them multiple ways to get him to eat them and I honestly thought these Chili Honey Lime Roasted Brussels Sprouts would do the trick, but I was wrong. The man just can’t get behind them. That’s okay though, it just means more for me!

Whether you love brussels sprouts like I do or aren’t their biggest fan, I urge you to give these Southwest, sweet and savory flavored ones a try. 

The brussels sprouts are roasted like you would normally (salt, pepper and olive oil), but with the addition of chili powder. I often get questions about if the chili powder makes them spicy and that just depends on what you buy. The spice shop that I buy all my spices from has chili powders with varying levels of heat. I tend to buy the medium heat. However, in the past when I’ve purchased chili powder at the grocery store I’ve found them to be mild. 

The final step to making these Chili Honey Lime Roasted Brussels Sprouts is of course the honey and lime. In a small bowl combine lime zest, juice and honey. Pop it in the microwave for a few seconds so it’s easy to whisk together.

Place the roasted brussels sprouts in a serving bowl and toss together with the dressing. Top with some flakey sea salt and serve them immediately while they still have that crisp texture. Enjoy!
