Bacon Honey Sriracha Brussels Sprouts on the Stalk

Honey sriracha brussels sprouts are a great side dish for holiday dinners. You only need four ingredients and the brussels sprouts on the stalk are a fun presentation.

Here is another Thanksgiving recipe idea: Roasted Brussels Sprouts on the stalk. This one is prepared with a honey sriracha glaze.

This weekend, I spent some more time recipe testing for Thanksgiving. I love finding Brussels Sprouts on the stalk this time of year and almost always have one in my fridge. I’ve wanted to experiment with roasting the whole thing while still on the stalk and I finally got around to trying it.

I usually buy my stalks from Trader Joe’s, but this one I bought at Whole Foods because their stalks are a little shorter, so that I can fit them into my oven and on my baking pan.

Ingredients

  • Thick sliced bacon
  • Brussels sprouts stalk
  • Honey
  • Sriracha

Recipe Steps

Cook the bacon in a skillet until it’s crispy. Take the cooked slices out of the pan and set them aside. Turn the heat off the pan and reserve the bacon fat.

Mix the honey with the sriracha in a small bowl and set it aside.

Place the stalk on a large baking sheet. Brush the brussels sprouts with the bacon fat and then roast them at 400°F for 40 minutes or until they are tender.

Move the baking pan to the top half of the oven and turn the oven to a low broil. Broil the sprouts for two to three minutes or until tops start to char. Keep an eye on them because they can burn quickly.

Take them out of the oven and brush the sprouts with the honey sriracha glaze. Glaze bacon, too, and then chop the strips into small pieces and sprinkle them on sprouts.

Can you make this with Brussels sprouts not on a stalk?

Yes, if you can’t find them on the stalk you can buy a bag and roast them.

For loose sprouts, you can place them in a big bowl and drizzle the bacon fat over the top. Toss to coat them evenly and then spread them on a baking sheet.

Roast them as instructed and then place them in a big bowl and coat them with the glaze and toss them with the bacon before serving.

I really enjoyed how this came out. Guests can easily cut off the cooked sprouts from the stalk and grab some honey sriracha glazed bacon to eat with it.

  1. I’ve never tried roasting brussels sprouts on the stalks.  Very creative!  I am, however, very familiar with the delicious combination of brussels and bacon 🙂  It’s a staple here at our house.

  2. Brussels sprouts are always amazing, but they look SO COOL on the stalk like this! I love it! Plus sriracha and bacon, yum.

  3. This looks quite impressive – I would like to try this recipe for my family. I know Bert would like it because he likes Sriracha anything. : )  Plus bacon…..yes.

  4. I have to try this!! But I will have to eat the whole stalk myself, as I am the only one that likes them. But who knows, maybe the Sriracha will convince the others to try it! Looks delicious!!

    • I have to eat it mostly by myself too. Mr. K rarely likes brussels sprouts. he’ll eat a little if there’s bacon, but not that much.

  5. I love all things bacon and brussels sprouts – you really can’t go wrong with the added honey and sriracha! 🙂 YUM.

    • Me too! There’s so many ways to prepare sprouts. I was having a hard time choosing which direction, but I just had some delicious honey sriracha bacon at the new S&M restaurant, so honey sriracha it is!
