Crispy Asian Brussels Sprouts Salad Recipes

CRISPY ASIAN BRUSSEL SPROUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450. Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil and set aside.
• Rinse sprouts in cool water and then chop off the tough ends. Chop sprouts in half or in quarters for very large sprouts. Dry thoroughly with a towel.
• Toss with the olive oil and season gently with salt and pepper. Remember that the sauce has soy sauce, which can be salty, so you don't want to over-salt the Brussel sprouts.
• Place in a single layer on the pan, leaving some space between the Brussel sprouts. They shouldn't be overlapping. Roast for 20-25 minutes or until the sprouts are browned and crispy.
• Meanwhile, add the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sambal olek, and garlic powder to a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 3-4 minutes until it thickens. This happens quickly since it is a small amount of liquid.
• Toss the hot Brussels sprouts with the sauce and serve.

CRISPY ASIAN BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F and set a rack on the very top.
• Prepare the brussels by cutting off the base of each sprout, slicing them in half from top to bottom and remove the excess or loose exterior leaves.
• Soak the cut brussels for a minute in water to clean them.
• Drain and spread Brussels out on a paper towel to dry while the oven is preheating.
• Cover a large rimmed baking sheet with foil (makes cleaning it easier later on) and spread the brussels out on the pan.
• Generously drizzle the brussels with the oil and sprinkle with kosher salt. Stir with your hands to ensure brussels are all well-oiled and salted.
• Place in the oven on the top rack for about 45-60 minutes. After 20 and 40 minutes, stir the brussels to ensure all sides get crispy and charred.
• During the last 5-10 minutes of cooking, reduce remaining ingredients (soy sauce, maple syrup, garlic, sriracha, lemon juice and black pepper) in a sauté pan over medium-high heat until sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Remove brussels from the oven once all brussels are crispy and slightly charred.
• Place them in a bowl and toss with some of the reduced sauce. Do this a little at a time as you don't want the brussels to be soaked in sauce so they retain their crispy texture. You may have a little leftover sauce. Eat & enjoy!
