    spicy brussel sprouts in a white bowl.

    Ingredients:

    • Soy sauce - pairs well with a vegetable
    • Crushed garlic - for flavor
    • Red chili flakes - makes the chili oil for spice
    • Microwavable bag brussel sprouts - microwave cooks the sprout before they air fry so that they do not release a bunch of moisture into the chili oil while air frying
    • Olive oil - helps make the chili oil since we are using chili oil instead of hot sauce

    How to make spicy brussels sprout:

    • Steam - cooking before tossing in sauce is necessary because moisture will be released out of the vegetable while cooking prior to the sauce. It would get watery otherwise
    • Cut - cut brussel sprouts in half, this is optional, but they do go a long ways cut in half
    • Toss - toss with your homemade chili oil in a large bowl
    • Air fry - cook to blend flavors

    Variations:

    • Oven roast - you can make spicy roasted Brussel sprouts in the oven if you do not have an air fryer! Follow the same directions, but put them in the oven instead of air fryer. You can broil them for about 2 minutes on a lower rack and get the same effect.
    • Add a protein - spicy brussel sprouts with bacon are a show stopper! Bacon is the most obviously protein to add, and they taste pretty good that way. Just add cooked bacon to the mixture in the bowl.
    • Additional spices - if you need additional spice, add more red pepper flakes or garlic! You could even add a sauce like sriracha. You just have to try to find something that works for you!

    How to store roasted brussel sprouts:

    • Fridge - store this side dish vegetable recipe in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. I like to portion out the leftovers and take them to work for lunch!
    • Freezer - I have not tried freezing this recipe. If you would like to try it, go for it! Let me know how it goes. 

    What to serve with:

    Brussel sprouts of any kind go excellent with meat and potatoes! When the brussel sprouts are spicy though, they are the star of the show when it comes to being an addition to a basic meal of meat and potatoes. Sometimes I bring brussels sprout for my lunch to work just to eat as a main dish because I love them so much!
