Ingredients
For the Brussels Sprouts
- 2 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
For the Sweet Chili Glaze
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon sriracha (or more to taste)
For Garnish
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
1. Roast the Brussels Sprouts
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange cut-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, turning halfway through, until deeply browned and crispy.
2. Prepare the Glaze
While the sprouts roast, combine soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and sriracha in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium-low heat for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly thickened.
3. Toss Together
Transfer the hot Brussels sprouts to a large bowl and pour the glaze over them. Toss gently until every sprout is evenly coated.
4. Garnish
Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds, sliced green onions, and crushed red pepper flakes if desired.
5. Serve
Serve immediately while the Brussels sprouts are hot and crispy.
Expert Tips
Do not overcrowd the baking sheet or the sprouts will steam instead of crisping. Roast them cut-side down for maximum caramelization. Toss with the glaze just before serving to preserve their crispy texture.
Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 400°F oven or air fryer for 5 to 8 minutes to restore crispiness. Avoid microwaving if possible, as it softens the exterior.
Serving Suggestions
Serve alongside grilled steak, roasted chicken, salmon, burgers, pork chops, fried rice, noodles, or sushi. They also make a fantastic appetizer for parties or holiday meals.
Recipe Variations
Add crispy bacon pieces for extra richness, sprinkle with grated Parmesan after roasting, or top with chopped peanuts or cashews for crunch. Swap honey for maple syrup for a vegan version, or increase the sriracha for extra heat. A squeeze of fresh lime juice adds a bright finishing touch.
