Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables:
- 1.75 pounds (794 grams) whole Brussels sprouts
Main Seasoning Liquids:
- ¼ cup sweet chili sauce (such as Gramas Sweet Chili Sauce)
- 2 teaspoons gluten-free tamari or soy sauce
Oils and Dry Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- Garlic powder, to taste
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Optional Garnish:
- Chopped peanuts, to taste
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 425°F and prepare a baking sheet with foil, lightly coating with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Carefully trim and halve Brussels sprouts, discarding any loose exterior leaves that detach during preparation.
- Arrange Brussels sprouts cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet, drizzling with olive oil and seasoning thoroughly with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Ensure each sprout is evenly coated by gently tossing with fingers.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 15-17 minutes until edges turn golden brown and crispy, developing rich caramelized flavors.
- Create the glaze by mixing sweet chili sauce and tamari in a small bowl, whisking until well combined.
- Remove sprouts from oven and delicately brush the tops with prepared sweet chili sauce mixture, ensuring even coverage.
- Return Brussels sprouts to oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, monitoring closely to prevent burning while allowing the glaze to become hot and glossy.
- Once finished, transfer to serving dish and garnish with roughly chopped peanuts for added crunch and nutty complexity.
Notes

- Olive oil and seasonings create a delicious base flavor before the sweet chili glaze.
- Roast cut-side down to achieve maximum caramelization and golden-brown edges.
- Watch closely during the final glazing stage to prevent burning and ensure a perfect sticky coating.
