These are seriously the best Brussels sprouts you will ever eat! With a sticky honey and soy sauce that's sweet and spicy.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. fresh Brussels sprouts
  • 1.5 tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 tbsp reduced sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1.5 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp Asian garlic chili paste (like sambal olek, Sriracha, adjust to heat preference)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper (as needed)

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 450. Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil and set aside.

  2. 2

    Rinse sprouts in cool water and then chop off the tough ends. Chop sprouts in half or in quarters for very large sprouts. Dry thoroughly with a towel.

  3. 3

    Toss with the olive oil and season gently with salt and pepper. Remember that the sauce has soy sauce, which can be salty, so you don't want to over-salt the Brussel sprouts.

  4. 4

    Place in a single layer on the pan, leaving some space between the Brussel sprouts. They shouldn't be overlapping. Roast for 20-25 minutes or until the sprouts are browned and crispy.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, add the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sambal olek, and garlic powder to a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 3-4 minutes until it thickens. This happens quickly since it is a small amount of liquid.

  6. 6

    Toss the hot Brussels sprouts with the sauce and serve.
