Description
Crispy roasted Brussels sprouts tossed in a sweet, sticky fish sauce caramel glaze for an irresistible blend of savory, sweet, and spicy flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil
- 3 tablespoons fish sauce
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon red chili flakes
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.
- In a bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with neutral oil and a pinch of salt until evenly coated.
- Arrange the sprouts cut side down on the sheet pan, leaving space between each piece.
- Roast in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- While sprouts roast, make the caramel sauce by combining brown sugar, fish sauce, garlic, and chili flakes in a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for 4 to 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Once the sprouts are done, remove from the oven and pour the caramel sauce over them. Toss to coat.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan for maximum crispiness.
- Finish with extra lime or a sprinkle of herbs for added freshness.
