Ingredients

• 500 grams Brussels sprouts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1.5 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1.5 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoons Sriracha sauce
• 1 teaspoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 1 stalk Green onions (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Rinse and trim the Brussels sprouts, removing the tough outer leaves and cutting larger sprouts in half to ensure even cooking.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.

Step 4

Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges.

Step 5

While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, prepare the sweet and sour sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sriracha sauce.

Step 6

In a separate small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in the water, then slowly add this mixture to the saucepan while whisking constantly to avoid lumps.

Step 7

Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens to a glossy consistency. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 8

Once the Brussels sprouts are done roasting, transfer them to a large mixing bowl and drizzle the sweet and sour sauce over them. Toss gently to coat the sprouts evenly.

Step 9

Optional: Garnish with sesame seeds and thinly sliced green onions for an extra pop of flavor and color.

Step 10

Serve immediately while hot and enjoy!
