How to Make These Delish Bang Bang Brussels
Start by prepping the Brussels sprouts. You will need to trim them and cut them in half. If they are really big, I recommend quartering them.
Next, coat them in avocado oil, arrange on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 25 minutes at 400°F.
While the Brussels sprouts roast, prepare the bang bang sauce. It is SUPER easy to make. All you need to do is sauté the garlic and red chili flakes in avocado oil and then add the coconut aminos.
Finally, mix the roasted Brussels sprouts with the bang bang sauce, garnish and enjoy!
Tips for Making This Dish Perfectly
- Arrange the Brussels sprouts evenly in a single layer on a baking sheet and make sure they do not overlap.
- Toss the Brussels sprouts half-way through the roasting time to ensure they roast on both sides.
- Remember to adjust the spiciness to your liking. Even a pinch of red chili flakes can make these Brussels pretty “banging”.
How Long will These Delish Bang Bang Brussels Last?
It is best to serve and enjoy these Delish Bang Bang Brussels right away while hot and fresh.
