I am so glad brussel sprouts are more popular and trendy now- you can find them at a ton of different restaurants. But honestly I like to make them at home better because it can be hit or miss whenever you eat out. Plus who wants to spend $10 for a plate of like 5 brussel sprouts?! Making them at home ensures they’ll have the flavor you want and you’ll have enough for leftovers (maybe ;))

I am 100% team crispy brussel sprouts, nothing ruins them more than when they’re overcooked and soggy. Those are the type of brussel sprouts I remember from my childhood haha. I’d like to personally thank the person who discovered that you should cook brussel sprouts differently than the old way of boiling them until they were mush haha.

1 tsp chili powder

1 tsp garlic powder

Method

1. Preheat oven to 400F
2. Cut the brussel sprouts in half then coat with 1 tsp of olive oil. Make sure the brussels are coated pretty evenly so the spices don’t clump together.
3. Sprinkle to chili powder and garlic powder over the brussels then add 1/4 cup of barbecue sauce.
4. Oil a baking sheet and add the brussel sprouts to it. Bake for 40 minutes, turning halfway through.

These brussel sprouts are pretty spicy so if you aren’t a huge spicy fan- use less sriracha. If you are a spicy fan- you just might beat my record of making these 5 times in 2 weeks because you’ll be obsessed! Made with avocado oil, sriracha, honey, garlic, and coconut aminos. Only 5 ingredients, gluten free, and soooo tasty!

I just discovered sriracha a few weeks ago and I’ve been adding it to EVERYTHING haha. Anyone else get obsessed with something and use it in everything?! Please tell me I’m not the only weirdo out here..

I may have had almost an entire bottle of sriracha to myself in the past few weeks but it’s worth it because I came up with this bomb spicy Brussel sprouts recipe

Add the brussel sprouts into a big bowl, add in all the spices and oil, mix it all with a spatula, spread it over a pan, bake for 45 mins, and enjoy!! Good luck not devouring them right then and there

I love using coconut aminos instead of soy sauce in recipes because they’re packed with amino acids and gluten free! You can find them a lot of places now, I grab mine from Trader Joe’s. Use them in your favorite stir fry recipes too!

Happy Friday (again haha) and happy holidays!!

I use my KitchenAid Veggie Spiralizer to make them. I like this one a lot because it makes the noodles thicker and then they don’t get as mushy/watery when you make it! Linking all the best Cyber Monday KitchenAid deals at the bottom of the post! Almost 50% off the spiralizer so if you need something to get yourself or a fellow cook for Christmas- there ya go!

Okay. Back to the sweet potato noodles/ basically sweet potato curly fries. They seriously are so simple to make and to cook! You can use any spiralizer. If you aren’t ready to invest in a KitchenAid, I used this amazon spiralizer for a year or so! It’s more work and you can only use small veggies on it but it gets the job done.

After you spiralize the sweet potato, heat a pan over medium heat. Add in avocado oil or whatever oil you prefer (enough to coat the pan). Then add in sweet potato noodles. Sauté for 10 minutes or until soft.

That’s it! Seriously. I paired mine with leftover Brussel Sprouts and my easy 6 minute salmon. Doesn’t get easier or better than that!

Would you eat these as ‘noodles’ in a recipe or curly fries?! Personally- I prefer them as curly fries haha.

Hope you love this simple recipe!
