Description
Teriyaki Glazed Brussels Sprouts are a sweet and savory side dish with crispy roasted Brussels sprouts, sticky homemade teriyaki glaze, garlic, ginger, and sesame for an easy vegetable recipe that pairs perfectly with chicken, salmon, rice bowls, or weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds Brussels sprouts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
1 tablespoon sliced green onions
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet if desired for easier cleanup.
2. Trim the Brussels sprouts, remove any rough outer leaves, and cut them in half lengthwise.
3. Place the Brussels sprouts on the baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper. Toss well and spread them into a single layer.
4. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the sprouts are tender inside and crisp on the edges.
5. While the sprouts roast, add soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger to a small saucepan over medium heat.
6. Stir until the mixture is smooth and lightly bubbling.
7. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water until smooth, then stir it into the saucepan.
8. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the glaze thickens, then remove from the heat and stir in the sesame oil.
9. Transfer the roasted Brussels sprouts to a bowl or leave them on the baking sheet and pour the teriyaki glaze over them. Toss until evenly coated.
10. Return to the oven for 2 to 3 minutes if you want the glaze to set a little more.
11. Finish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, then serve warm.
Notes
Roast the Brussels sprouts cut side down when possible so they caramelize better and develop crisp edges.
Do not add the glaze too early or it can burn before the sprouts finish roasting.
For extra texture and flavor, top with toasted sesame seeds and a pinch of red pepper flakes before serving.
