Ingredients
Units
Scale
Brussels Sprouts
- 1 lb brussels sprouts
Seasoning and Glaze
- 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha
Garnish
- Toasted sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prep brussels sprouts: Trim the stems off of 1 lb brussels sprouts, then cut each brussels sprout in half (lengthwise).
- Bake: Scatter brussels sprouts on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil and toss to coat. Sprinkle with ½ teaspoon fine sea salt. Bake until tender and golden brown around the edges, 20 to 30 minutes, shaking the pan half-way through.
- Glaze & Bake: Whisk together 2 tablespoons maple syrup and 1 tablespoon Sriracha. Pour over baking sheet of brussels sprouts. Toss to coat. Bake until brussels sprouts and glaze are hot, about 5 minutes.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with Toasted sesame seeds (if using). Season with more salt, if needed. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Brussels sprouts: Make sure the brussels sprouts are patted dry after washing. Excess moisture will cause the brussels sprouts to steam, rather than roast. Use fresh brussels sprouts, not frozen ones.
- Sriracha: If you’re sensitive to spice/heat, add Sriracha in small increments and taste as you go. If you use less Sriracha, you may want to season with more salt at the end. If you’re out of Sriracha, substitute with Sambal Oelek, Mexican-style hot sauce, or the “runner up” (#2) in our rankings of Best Sriracha Substitutes.
