The Best Asian-Inspired Brussels Sprouts

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

These Asian-Inspired Brussels Sprouts were designed for anyone who doesn’t typically like brussels sprouts. The texture and flavor is totally unexpected – crispy, crunchy, sweet, and spicy.

Honestly, plain steamed brussels are not my jam. If you’re into that, I admire you for being an OG veggie lover.

The stereotypical steamed brussels sprouts recipe made me really dislike brussels – until I learned the best way to cook them. I took inspiration from my favorite cuisine (Asian) and created a soy-sauce inspired glaze (completely soy-free).

These brussels are crispy, crunchy, and have a sweet + spicy glaze drizzled over them. We love adding a little extra spice to ours too.

These Asian Maple Glazed Brussels Sprouts are a crowd-pleaser when served as an appetizer or a side. When serving as a side, try pairing with a stir fry and brown rice or quinoa.

This recipe is:

  • vegan + vegetarian
  • gluten-free
  • refined sugar-free
  • anti-inflammatory
  • oil-free (optional)
  • paleo
  • dairy-free
  • corn-free
  • soy-free

Tools + Ingredients:

  • Parchment Paper
  • Brussels Sprouts

Recipe FAQs:

What are coconut aminos?

Coconut aminos are a soy-free substitute for soy sauce. They provide a similar taste with less sodium and no soy.

Is this a healthy way to eat brussels sprouts?

Yes! This is a healthy way to enjoy brussels sprouts rather than frying them or breading them.

I don’t usually like brussels sprouts, should I try these?

Yes, I recommend giving these a try! If you’ve only had steamed brussels sprouts, you won’t even recognize these.

Cuisine Asian-Inspired
Servings 2

Ingredients
  

  • 1 bag or bunch brussels sprouts
  • 1 teaspoon avocado oil or parchment paper for oil-free
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder or fresh minced garlic

Sauce

  • ¼ cup coconut aminos
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon chili paste or ¼ teaspoon red chili flakes
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds optional
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon white pepper or black pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon sea salt optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400º. Prep non-stick baking sheet or parchment paper on a sheet.
  • Quarter the brussels sprouts so they're small (they'll get crispier this way). Drizzle avocado oil on the pan and then toss the brussels to coat.
  • Bake for 20-25 min. Take them out every 10 minutes to shake the pan around. Keep an eye on them, as you want them to get crispy without burning.
  • Mix all the sauce ingredients in a bowl. Once brussels are done, toss in the sauce until fully coated and serve while hot.

Notes

  • Option to omit the chili paste if you’re not a fan of spicy foods.
