Ingredients
1/2 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 1/4 cups low-sodium soy sauce
3 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
2 lbs Brussels sprouts, halved
4 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup French fried onions
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and soy sauce. Stir continuously to dissolve the sugars and ensure the sauce thickens. Add the minced ginger and garlic, stirring briefly to incorporate the flavors. Once the glaze has reduced by about 1/3 to 1/2, remove it from the heat. Allow the sauce to cool completely; this cooling process will help it thicken further. Let it sit for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours for a more concentrated flavor.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and trim the Brussels sprouts, then cut them in half. In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil until evenly coated. Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast for 35–40 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through to ensure even browning. The Brussels sprouts should be crispy on the outside and tender inside.
- Transfer the roasted Brussels sprouts to a serving dish. Drizzle with the cooled soy-ginger glaze. Sprinkle with French fried onions for a crispy topping. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Add Spice: For a little heat, add some red pepper flakes or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the glaze.
- Different Glaze: Experiment with honey or maple syrup in place of some of the brown sugar for a different flavor profile.
- Cheese: Add some grated Parmesan or pecorino cheese over the top for an extra savory touch.
