Ingredients
  

1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/4 cup sweet chili sauce

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon honey (optional for added sweetness)

2 tablespoons sesame seeds (for garnish)

2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.

    Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss gently until all the sprouts are evenly coated in the seasoning.

      Roast the Sprouts: Spread the seasoned Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and develop a golden brown exterior. Be sure to shake the pan or stir the sprouts halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.

        Make the Glaze: While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, prepare the sweet chili glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and honey (if using) until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

          Glaze the Sprouts: Once the Brussels sprouts are finished roasting, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the sweet chili glaze over the hot Brussels sprouts and toss gently until they are fully coated in the glaze.

            Serve: Plate the glazed Brussels sprouts onto a serving platter. For a delightful finish, sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions generously on top, adding both texture and color.

              Enjoy: Serve your Sweet Chili Glazed Brussels Sprouts warm, either as a flavorful side dish or as a healthy snack you won’t be able to resist!
