Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 189kcal
Equipment
- Air Fryer optional
Ingredients
- 400 g ( 1lb) Brussels sprouts
- 3 tablespoon Hot honey or use normal honey + chilli flakes
- 1 teaspoon red pepper (chilli) flakes if using normal honey
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 50 g (¼cup) feta crumbled
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200˚C Fan / 220˚C / 425˚F or air fryer (if required) to 180˚C / 350˚F.
- Remove any excess stalks and brown leaves from the sprouts, then slice each sprout in half lengthways.
- In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, honey, red pepper (chilli) flakes and salt & pepper.
- Add the Brussels sprouts and stir until they are all coated in the honey mixture.
To Roast In The Oven
- Place the sprouts cut side down in a single layer on a non-stick baking tray and roast for 20-25 minutes until they turn crispy on the outside. Flip the sprouts halfway through cooking, so they cook evenly.
To Air Fry
- Place face down in a single layer in the air fryer basket (cook in batches if necessary) and cook for 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking.
- Sprinkle over the feta cheese just before serving, while the sprouts are still hot.
Notes
How Can I Make This Allergy Friendly?
Make It Dairy-Free: The feta is optional so you can either leave it out or use a dairy-free option. Violife do a dairy-free Greek-style cheese that you can pick up in most major supermarkets.
Variations & Substitutions
Honey: This can be swapped out for maple syrup & the dish will then become vegan. (Providing you don’t add the feta cheese)
Cheese: Not a fan of feta? Finely grated parmesan tastes delicious grated over the top before serving, whilst the sprouts are still hot.
Lauren’s Tips
- Spread Them Out: Arrange the sprouts in a single layer on the tray with the cut side down, leaving room between them so they’re not overcrowded. This will help them to crisp up nicely,
- Adjust the Heat: If you're making the hot honey yourself, you can adjust the spice level to suit your taste. Add more chilli flakes for extra heat, or less for a milder version.
- Drizzle After Cooking: For maximum flavour, save a little of the hot honey to drizzle over the sprouts once they are cooked.
