Brussels sprouts get an unfair reputation for striking fear into the hearts of children and adults.

The Brussels sprouts haters have never had them like this.

These soy glazed Brussels sprouts are crispy, caramelized and oh so good.

In other words, they are a far cry from that sad, boiled, mushy sprouts you may be thinking of.

They are a texture and flavor bonanza with their crunchy leaves and sticky, sweet, spicy glaze.

One bite and I promise you’ll be converted and you’ll be wanting these with every meal!

Ingredients

To make these you’ll need:

Brussels Sprouts– Fresh Brussels sprouts. Trim the base off of them and remove any loose leaves.
Oil– Canola oil. Olive oil would also work.
Soy Sauce– You can use lite soy sauce if you’re concerned about salt.
Maple Syrup– For sweetness. You could substitute honey if that’s what you have on hand.
Lemon Juice– For acidity. Fresh is best.
Garlic– Minced
Sriracha Sauce– You can adjust it to your heat preferences.
Salt & Pepper– To taste.

How to Make

These soy glazed Brussels sprouts are pretty easy to make.

Start by cutting off the base of each sprout before slicing them in half lengthwise.

Remove any excess or loose leaves from the outside of each sprout.

Soak the cut sprouts in a bowl of water for a minute to clean them.

Drain the cleaned sprouts and pat them dry with paper towels, removing any excess moisture.

Spread the cut, cleaned sprouts out over a large rimmed baking sheet with foil so they are in a single layer without overlapping each other.

Liberally pour the oil over the sprouts, sprinkle with the salt, and and mix them together with your hands to make sure everything is evenly coated.

Bake at 400 degrees for about 45-50 minutes, stirring at 20 and 40 minutes, to ensure both sides evenly crisp.

During the last 5-10 minutes of cooking, stir together the remaining ingredients in a small sauce pan over medium high heat.

Let the mixture simmer and reduce for about 5 minutes or until the sauce has thickened.

Take the roasted sprouts out from the oven and transfer them to a heat-resistant bowl.

Slowly add in the sauce and toss them, a little at a time, to ensure they stay nice and crispy.

Serve and enjoy!

Storing

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

While you can reheat them in the microwave, for best texture I recommend heating them in the oven as the microwave can make them soft.

Tips and Tricks

Make sure none of the Brussels sprouts overlap during the cooking process. You want them in contact with the pan so they crisp and brown.
Cut them into roughly equal sized pieces. While you can cut most of them in half, occasionally, you’ll get a big one that you may need to quarter.
Garnish them with sesame seeds if desired.
As written this recipe serves two, possibly three if you stretch it; however, it can easily be doubled or tripled to feed a larger group. Just be sure you don’t overcrowd the sprouts on the pan when baking, or they won’t caramelize and crisp up properly.
