Sweet and Spicy Brussels Sprouts
Description
This recipe prepares Brussels sprouts by removing stems and cutting them into smaller pieces for even cooking. The sprouts are coated in a sauce made from low-sodium soy sauce, chili garlic paste, honey, and hoisin sauce, which brings a combination of salty, sweet, and spicy flavors. The coated sprouts are spread on a baking sheet and roasted in a hot oven.
Roasting at 425°F encourages caramelization and browning while softening the interior, resulting in crispy edges and rich flavor development. Drizzling with toasted sesame oil just before or after roasting adds a nutty aroma and finish.
This preparation works well as a side dish pairing with a variety of main courses and adds a flavorful vegetable option to the meal.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Brussels sprouts stems removed and halved or quartered
- 1/4 cup soy sauce low-sodium
- 1/4 cup chili garlic paste
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil for drizzling, toasted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment or paper.
- Place the brussels sprouts in a large bowl. In a smaller bowl whisk together the soy sauce, chili garlic paste, honey and hoisin until combined. Pour the sauce over the brussels and toss well until the brussels are all covered.
- Dump the brussels on the baking sheet and toss some more if necessary. Drizzle with sesame oil. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the brussels are golden and bubbly.
