    7 Asian Brussels Sprouts with Dipping Sauce

    Why This Recipe Works

    • The brussels are roasted to a caramelized crisp in the oven, which helps them hold up to the sauce.
    • The sauce is just enough to add flavor, but not too much to make the brussels soggy.
    • The sauce also has plenty of honey to help it stick to the sprouts.
    • These Asian Brussels are great on their own, but the Sambal Aioli takes them to a whole other level.

    Ingredients

    There are three groups of ingredients you need for this Asian Brussels Sprouts recipe: Brussels, sauce the brussels get tossed in, and the Sambal dipping sauce ingredients.

    Step-by-Step Picture Instructions

    Whisk together the ingredients for the Sambal Aioli. Set aside.

    In your oven, move the rack to the lowest level, closest to the heating element.

    Pro Tip: By moving your oven rack to the lowest point your brussels will crisp and caramelize better.

    Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Prep a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Trim the small stem end of each brussels sprouts and then halve each one. In a large bowl toss the prepped brussels sprouts, olive oil, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes together.

    Place the brussels on the baking sheet CUT SIDE DOWN.

    Pro Tip: Do not crowd the brussels on the pan or they will steam instead of roast. Also by placing the brussels cut side down the edges of each layers of leaves will caramelize and crisp.

    Roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes. You want them to be browned and crisp but not mushy on the inside.

    While the brussels are roasting make the ginger soy glaze.

    In a small saucepan over medium-low heat add the honey, soy sauce, sesame oil and sambal. Simmer for about 1 minute.

    Remove from the heat and stir in the fresh ginger and minced garlic.

    Pro Tip: adding the garlic and ginger after the sauce simmers ensures the garlic won’t burn and allows the flavors to be bright and fresh!

    Toss the cooked brussels in the ginger soy glaze, serve immediately with a side of the Sambal Aioli.

    Recipe Tips

    • Take the extra step to make sure the brussels are cut side down on the baking pan.
    • Use the parchment paper to roast the brussels, it helps them crisp without sticking to the pan.
    • Move the baking rack to the lowest position in the oven. It helps make your brussels nice and caramelized.
    • Don’t overcook your brussels or they will be mushy.

        We make this as a side at least once a week without the dipping sauce. We love it! We also will make the sauce for other veggies as well as put it on chicken.

        Where should you place the oven rack off you have a convection oven and only have a top heating element?
