Toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated. Spread them cut-side down in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 22–25 minutes , flipping halfway, until deeply golden and crispy on the edges. Transfer to a serving bowl and drizzle with hot honey while warm. Sprinkle with crumbled feta and garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately. Notes Roasting cut-side down helps the Brussels sprouts caramelize beautifully. Add the hot honey after roasting to keep its flavor bright and glossy. For extra heat, finish with a pinch of red pepper flakes. Goat cheese can be substituted for feta if preferred. Frequently Asked Questions Are Hot Honey Brussels Sprouts spicy? They’re mildly spicy with a sweet finish. You can easily adjust the heat by using more or less hot honey. Can I make these ahead of time? They’re best fresh, but you can roast the Brussels sprouts ahead and reheat them, adding hot honey and feta just before serving. Can I make this dairy-free? Yes — simply skip the feta or use a dairy-free alternative. What else can I add? Toasted walnuts, pistachios, or a squeeze of lemon all work beautifully.
