While preheating, slice the Brussels sprouts in half. Start by washing them and trimming the remaining stem and removing any leaves with discoloration. Then, cut them in half or quarter the bigger ones.
In a large bowl, season the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix until the cruciferous vegetables are fully coated.
Air fry the Brussels Sprouts for 12-15 minutes at 400°F (204°C). Flip them halfway for even golden brown finish.
To make the sauce, combine 2 tablespoons of honey and 2 tablespoons of sriracha.

Notes
You may skip preheating by adding 2-4 minutes to your cooking time. To prevent burning your dish, increment the cooking time gradually.
Medium-to-large-size Brussels sprouts will work best for this recipe. Cutting them in half will allow you to incorporate more flavor.
If you prefer smaller Brussels sprouts, slicing them is optional, as they will shrink further during air frying.
Caramelizing your Brussels sprout tones down their bitterness. Cooking them for longer at high temperatures brings out their natural sugar content.
If you want to make this recipe less spicy, reduce the sriracha to 1 tablespoon.
To make it crispy: Air fry the Brussels sprouts for 2-4 minutes or more until the outer layer turns perfectly golden brown. Then, serve honey sriracha as a dipping sauce instead of coating them.
For a softer texture: Soak your Brussels sprouts in warm tap water before coating them with seasonings. Drain before doing so.
I used a 6-quart air fryer to test the Air Fryer Honey Sriracha Brussels Sprouts. Cooking time and temperature may vary depending on your air fryer. For optimal results, begin with the lower end of the suggested cooking time.
