Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 lb. Brussels sprouts (trimmed and halved)
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- 1/4 tsp sesame seeds
- 1/4 tsp toasted sesame oil (optional)
- 2 tbsp parsley or cilantro (chopped)
Bang Bang Sauce
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- 1 tbsp minced garlic (or 2 chopped garlic cloves)
- 1/2 tsp red chili flakes
- 2 tbsp coco aminos
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Prep the Brussels sprouts by washing them, trimming the ends and cutting in half.
- In a large bowl, combine halved Brussel sprouts and avocado oil and mix until evenly coated.
- Spread the Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet in an even layer and roast for 25 min.
Bang Bang Sauce
- In the meantime, prepare the bang bang sauce. In a pan, heat 1 tbsp of avocado oil. Then add the minced or finely chopped garlic and sauté until lightly golden. Next add red chili flakes and 2 tbsp of coco aminos to the pan, mix all ingredients, cover the pan with a lid and remove from the heat.
- Next, remove the roasted Brussels sprouts from the oven, transfer them into a mixing bowl, add the bang bang sauce and toss together.
- Finally, transfer to a serving bowl, drizzle some toasted sesame oil (optional), top with sesame seeds and fresh parsley or cilantro and serve!
Notes
- If the Brussels sprouts are very large, I recommend quartering them.
- 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 brown on both sides.
- Remember to adjust the spiciness to your liking. Even a pinch of red chili flakes can make these Brussels pretty "banging".
