Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F, while you fill a large saucepan with water and bring it to a boil.Once the water has come to a boil, add the entire batch of Brussel sprouts, reduce the heat, and let them simmer for about 4 minutes.
After 4 minutes, make sure to completely drain Brussel sprouts by using a strainer, then place them into an ice bath for 30 seconds.Once again, drain the Brussel sprouts using a strainer, then place them onto a plate covered with paper towels. Use paper towels to pat them dry and ensure you've removed excess water.
Slice all the Brussel sprouts in half, then place them onto a baking tray lined up with parchment paper. Sprinkle some olive oil on top, making sure to coat them evenly.Add the baking tray to the preheated oven and roast the Brussel sprouts for 25 minutes, or until you notice they're developed a golden crust.
While the Brussel sprouts are in the oven, prepare the seasoning mixture by combining melted butter, salt, red pepper flakes, chili powder, paprika, Chipotle seasoning (or Calabrian chili rub), honey, and maple syrup.Whisk all the ingredients together to create a perfectly blended mixture.If the butter wasn't hot enough to help you blend the ingredients, you can warm up the mixture in a saucepan over medium heat to ensure all the flavors are combined.
After 25 minutes (or once they're crispy and golden), remove the Brussel sprouts from the oven and place them into a large bowl.Pour the seasoning mixture over the Brussel sprouts, then toss them to distribute the mixture evenly.In case you're using a spoon to mix them, be careful not to mash them as they're quite tender when they're hot.
