Ingredients
  

1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce

1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce

1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

2 garlic cloves, finely minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

2 green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C), allowing it to reach the ideal roasting temperature.

    Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: In a large mixing bowl, add the halved Brussels sprouts. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and season generously with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Toss until the Brussels sprouts are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning.

      Roast: Arrange the seasoned Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they have enough space for even roasting. Place them in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through the cooking time, until they are beautifully golden brown and crisp-tender.

        Make the Glaze: While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, prepare your sweet chili glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the sweet chili sauce, low-sodium soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer, cooking for 2-3 minutes and stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly and becomes fragrant.

          Combine: Once the Brussels sprouts are finished roasting and have developed a crisp exterior, carefully remove them from the oven. Immediately drizzle the prepared sweet chili glaze over the hot Brussels sprouts and gently toss them until they are completely coated in the delicious glaze.

            Garnish: Transfer the glazed Brussels sprouts to a decorative serving platter. For an extra touch, sprinkle sesame seeds on top along with the sliced green onions, which adds both crunch and a pop of fresh flavor.

              Serve: Serve the Sweet Chili Glazed Brussels Sprouts warm, either as a vibrant side dish or a delightful snack that is sure to impress.
