Asian Brussels Sprouts Recipe

Asian Brussels Sprouts Recipe roast halved Brussels sprouts coated in a sauce combining avocado oil, soy sauce, honey, garlic, and red pepper flakes. The roasting method caramelizes the sprouts' cut side, producing a tender interior with crispy, browned edges. Garnishing with sesame seeds adds a nutty finish. This dish merges sweet, savory, and spicy flavors with a tender-crisp texture.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts halved
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or a gluten-free alternative, reduced-sodium
  • 1 tablespoon honey real or sugar-free
  • 1 teaspoon garlic minced, fresh
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with heatproof parchment paper for easy cleanup. 
  2. Make the sauce: In a small bowl, mix the oil, soy sauce, honey, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
  3. Place the Brussels sprouts in the pan and toss them with the sauce.
  4. Arrange the seasoned Brussels sprouts, cut side down, in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  5. Roast them, undisturbed, until browned and caramelized, for about 30 minutes.
  6. Taste and decide if you'd like to sprinkle the dish with kosher salt. To my palate, the soy sauce makes it salty enough. Garnish with sesame seeds and serve. 

Notes

  • Use dry Brussels sprouts, preferably pre-washed bagged sprouts, to enhance crispness during roasting.
  • Roast the sprouts undisturbed to allow caramelization on the cut side without flipping.
  • Check for doneness starting at 20 minutes as ovens vary; sprouts should be browned and tender.
  • Frozen Brussels sprouts are not recommended since they won’t crisp properly and may become mushy.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days and reheat gently in a microwave at half power or in a 350°F oven.
  • Sprouts can be frozen for up to three months for longer storage.
