- 2 - 12 ounce bags of brussels sprouts cleaned and trimmed, halved (or quartered for bigger brussels sprouts)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 to 2 tablespoons fresh minced ginger OR ginger paste - or to taste
- 1/2 cup crispy fried onions
Preheat oven to 425℉
Sautee ginger and garlic until slightly browned and set aside.
Place Brussels sprouts in a mixing bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with black pepper. This is all the seasoning you will need because soy sauce has plenty of sodium. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil then brush with one tablespoon of olive oil or spray with cooking spray.
Arrange Brussels sprouts on baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes.
Toss brussels sprouts about halfway through.
Cook approximately 15 more minutes or until crispy and golden brown on the edges. Some of the loose leaves will be more brown and crispy.
Directions for the Soy Glaze
Add garlic and ginger you set aside along with soy sauce, water, sesame oil, and brown sugar to your saucepan and give it a stir.
Cook down your glaze until the water has almost evaporated, stirring continuously. Approximately 10 minutes.Use a butter knife or spoon to see if it's fully coated. That's when it's done. Place roasted Brussels sprouts in a medium to large mixing bowl.
Add crispy onions, pour the soy glaze over brussels sprouts, then toss until fully coated,.
Garnish with crispy onions, serve, and enjoy!
