Tips & Variations

FAQs

Can I use frozen Brussels sprouts for this recipe?

Fresh Brussels sprouts are best for roasting because they get crispy. Frozen sprouts tend to release more moisture and may become soggy, but if using frozen, thaw and dry them thoroughly before proceeding.

Is sweet chili sauce spicy?

Sweet chili sauce has a mild heat with a sweet and tangy flavor, making it accessible for most palates. You can adjust the amount or add extra chili if you prefer more spice.

Instructions

1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and help with easy cleanup.
2. Toss sprouts: In a large bowl, combine the trimmed and halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Toss gently until the sprouts are evenly coated with the seasoning and oil.
3. Roast: Arrange the Brussels sprouts cut-side down in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast them in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the edges are nicely browned and the sprouts are crispy on the outside.
4. Glaze: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and drizzle the sweet chili sauce and low-sodium soy sauce evenly over the roasted Brussels sprouts. Toss gently to coat them thoroughly with the glaze, then return the sheet to the oven for an additional 3 to 5 minutes to allow the sauce to set and caramelize slightly.
5. Serve: Once glazed and caramelized, transfer the Brussels sprouts to a serving dish and serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.
