Ingredients
Scale
- 1.75 lbs (794 g) Brussels sprouts, whole
- ¼ cup sweet chili sauce (Gramas Sweet Chili Sauce)
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tsp gluten-free tamari or soy sauce
- Garlic powder, to taste
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Chopped peanuts, to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat oven to 425°F and line baking sheet with foil, lightly spraying with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Trimming: Meticulously prepare Brussels sprouts by trimming and halving, removing any loose exterior leaves.
- Seasoning: Arrange sprouts cut-side down on baking sheet, generously coating with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, ensuring even distribution by gently tossing with fingers.
- Roasting: Bake in preheated oven for 15-17 minutes until edges transform into golden-brown, crispy perfection with rich caramelized notes.
- Glazing: Whisk sweet chili sauce and tamari in a small bowl to create a harmonious glaze, then delicately brush over roasted sprouts, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
- Final Roast: Return glazed sprouts to oven for 5-7 minutes, carefully monitoring to achieve a hot, glossy finish without burning.
- Serving: Transfer to serving dish and sprinkle with roughly chopped peanuts, adding a delightful crunch and nutty dimension to the dish.
Notes
- Crisp Perfectly: Arrange Brussels sprouts cut-side down to achieve maximum caramelization and golden-brown edges during roasting.
- Enhance Flavor Balance: Whisk sweet chili sauce and tamari thoroughly to create a harmonious glaze that coats each sprout evenly without overwhelming the vegetable’s natural taste.
- Watch Carefully: Monitor the final glazing stage closely to prevent burning, as the sugars in sweet chili sauce can quickly caramelize and turn bitter.
- Texture Boost: Sprinkle chopped peanuts just before serving to add a delightful crunch and nutty dimension that contrasts with the soft, glossy roasted sprouts.
