Preheating the baking sheet helps the Brussel sprouts roasted and caramelize quickly without making them soft and mushy. if you have loose leaves they will blacken first but it will make a nice crispy addition to your dish. 

Ingredients: 

• ¼ cup honey

• 1-inch knob of fresh ginger, grated

• 1 ½ tablespoons Sriracha

• 2 teaspoons lime juice

• 2 pounds. Brussel sprouts, trimmed and halved (about 6 cups)

• 2 tablespoons peanut oil (or another vegetable oil)

• 1 teaspoon kosher salt

• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
