Roasted Asian Brussel Sprouts Recipe With Peanut Sauce

CRISPY ASIAN BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F and set a rack on the very top.
• Prepare the brussels by cutting off the base of each sprout, slicing them in half from top to bottom and remove the excess or loose exterior leaves.
• Soak the cut brussels for a minute in water to clean them.
• Drain and spread Brussels out on a paper towel to dry while the oven is preheating.
• Cover a large rimmed baking sheet with foil (makes cleaning it easier later on) and spread the brussels out on the pan.
• Generously drizzle the brussels with the oil and sprinkle with kosher salt. Stir with your hands to ensure brussels are all well-oiled and salted.
• Place in the oven on the top rack for about 45-60 minutes. After 20 and 40 minutes, stir the brussels to ensure all sides get crispy and charred.
• During the last 5-10 minutes of cooking, reduce remaining ingredients (soy sauce, maple syrup, garlic, sriracha, lemon juice and black pepper) in a sauté pan over medium-high heat until sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Remove brussels from the oven once all brussels are crispy and slightly charred.
• Place them in a bowl and toss with some of the reduced sauce. Do this a little at a time as you don't want the brussels to be soaked in sauce so they retain their crispy texture. You may have a little leftover sauce. Eat & enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Combine Brussels sprouts, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl; mix to combine. Spread out on a sheet pan in a single layer.
• Roast in the preheated oven until Brussels sprouts are browned, shaking the pan every 7 minutes, about 30 minutes total. Remove from the oven.
• Heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add brussels sprouts and cook for 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and mix with soy sauce and fish sauce.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS ROASTED IN A PEANUT HARISSA SAUCE

Steps:

• Rinse brussels sprouts. In a medium pot fitted with a steamer insert, add about 1″ of water. Pour brussels sprouts into the basket. Cover and turn to medium heat. Cook for 10 minutes, no more. Preheat oven to 450°. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, make sauce. In a bowl, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, harissa, oil, and honey. Whisk until well combined. Once sprouts have cooked for 10 minutes, drain and return to pot. Pour 3/4 of the sauce over the sprouts. Reserve leftover sauce for later. Stir to evenly coat. Pour onto lined baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes. Stir and bake for 5 minutes more or until crispy and slightly charred.
• Remove from oven. Stir remaining sauce over. Add to a serving dish. Garnish with peanuts and green onions. Serve warm.

ASIAN BRUSSEL SPROUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Slightly oil paper set aside.
• Place the trimmed Brussel sprout halves in a large mixing bowl and pour olive oil on top. Stir to evenly cover the halves with oil. Discard any outer leaves that detached from the sprouts and use them later to make Brussel sprouts chips.
• Place the Brussel sprouts in a single layer on the baking sheet, make sure they don't touch each other, or use 2 baking sheets. Bake for 15 minutes, stir halfway and keep roasting for 10-15 minutes until crispy and tender in the center.
