Description
Crispy roasted Brussels sprouts tossed in a bold, sweet-and-spicy glaze made with sweet chili sauce, garlic, and olive oil. Finished with sesame seeds and green onions, this easy 30-minute side dish delivers caramelized edges, tender centers, and vibrant flavor—perfect for weeknight dinners, holiday meals, or meal prep.
Ingredients
– 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
– 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
– ¼ cup sweet chili sauce (store-bought or homemade)
– 2 garlic cloves, minced
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
– 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
– 2 tablespoons sliced green onions, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts, olive oil, sweet chili sauce, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
- Spread the sprouts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, cut-side down if possible, to maximize caramelization.
- Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until deeply golden brown, crispy at the edges, and tender in the center.
- Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving bowl.
- Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve warm.
Notes
– For best results, avoid overcrowding the pan, use two sheets if needed.
– To make it spicier: add ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes or 1 teaspoon sriracha to the sauce.
– Add-ins like crispy bacon, toasted pine nuts, or dried cranberries add texture and contrast.
– Can be prepped ahead: toss sprouts with sauce and refrigerate for up to 4 hours before roasting.
– Reheat leftovers in a 350°F oven for 5–10 minutes or microwave for 30 seconds.
