Yesss let’s bring the heat — Gochujang Glazed Brussels Sprouts 🔥🥦 are crispy, sticky, spicy-sweet perfection. Think roasted caramelized edges + bold Korean-inspired flavor = total crowd-pleaser (even for Brussels skeptics 👀).
Ingredients:
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts, halved
- 1–2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt & pepper
For the glaze:
- 1 ½ tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste) 🌶️
- 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey 🍯
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- Optional: minced garlic or ginger for extra kick
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss Brussels with olive oil, salt & pepper. Roast cut-side down for 20–25 mins, until golden & crispy.
- Mix glaze ingredients in a small bowl.
- Toss & return: When sprouts are crisp, toss them with the glaze, then roast for 5 more mins so they get sticky and caramelized. ✨
- Serve hot, topped with sesame seeds, sliced scallions, or crushed peanuts if you’re feeling fancy. 🌱🥜
Flavor Vibe:
Bold, umami, caramelized, and addictive. These aren’t your grandma’s Brussels — unless your grandma was a flavor genius with a secret bottle of gochujang. 🔥👵🇰🇷
Serving Ideas:
- As a bold side with rice bowls or noodles 🍜
- On a charred corn tortilla with avocado for a killer taco moment 🌮
- Topped with a jammy egg for spicy brunch vibes 🍳
