Why You'll Love this Roasted Teriyaki Brussels Sprouts recipe...

• This Teriyaki Brussels Sprouts recipe uses bottled teriyaki sauce. I don't have time to whip up a lot of my sauces these days and I know I'm not the only one who goes through a busier phase of life.  Kitchen shortcuts are a way of life these days.  If you want to make your sauce, I've also included a recipe to do that below.
• But because this recipe is so simple it's the type you will learn and make over and over.
• Did you know that Brussels sprouts are super healthy for you!  They have vitamins like cabbage and are packed with folate, fiber, vitamin C, and K.  They are also packed with more nutrients than kale or broccoli!
• Roasting Brussels sprouts keeps them from turning soft, mushy, and yucky.  These are a far cry from the boiled sprouts of your childhood.  I've also included an air fryer version of these below too.
• You will love this Roasted Teriyaki Brussel Sprouts recipe because it has only 3 ingredients but still tastes like a FLAVOR BOMB in your mouth!

Ingredients:

Here's an overview of what you'll need to make this Teriyaki Brussels Sprouts recipe, but keep scrolling for the full recipe amounts.

• Brussels Sprouts: Look for fresh Brussels sprouts that have a pretty green color.  Trim off the hard ends and cut the sprouts in half to prepare them.
• Sesame Oil:  I really like the way a touch of toasted sesame oil adds just a bit of flavor.  I use this oil for the actual roasting of the sprouts.
• Teriyaki Sauce:  Make your own OR use your favorite store-bought to keep this recipe simple.  If you are gluten-free be sure to pick out a gluten-free sauce.  Depending on your budget and preferences you can buy regular Teriyaki Sauce, Organic Teriyaki Sauce, Paleo, and Keto Teriyaki Sauce, and Sugar-Free Teriyaki Sauce.  I LOVE the ALDI teriyaki sauce! <--- Not sponsored just what I buy!  You can also make your teriyaki sauce with the ingredients below.

Homemade Teriyaki Sauce:

• ¼ cup soy sauce

Keep reading to get the complete instructions on how to make my Teriyaki Brussels Sprouts but here's a quick overview.

5. THAT'S IT!  Serve immediately with your favorite tofu, seafood, or even chicken.

This Roasted Teriyaki Brussels Sprouts recipe could not be tastier or easier.  It's been one of my favorite side dishes since I started making it a few months ago.

The Secrets to Crispy Asian Brussel Sprouts

• The secret to making this recipe is roasting your Brussels sprouts is to give them enough space on the pan to get crispy.  If they are crowded on the pan they will steam instead of roast.
• Roast them until they get nice and crispy.  I think they taste the best when they almost look burnt.  You roast them in sesame oil to bring out some extra Asian-inspired flavor.  Roasting on high heat can help get them crispy.
• AFTER roasting the sprouts you toss them in your favorite high-quality bottled teriyaki sauce.  The key to having them crispy is adding the sauce after.
• I love serving them with chopsticks and a little extra teriyaki on the side.
• If you are feeling fancy you can even sprinkle some sesame seeds on top!

How to Make Homemade Teriyaki Sauce:

1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the 1 cup water, brown sugar, soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger.  Mix until combined.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the ¼ cup water and cornstarch.  Mix until dissolved.
3. Add the cornstarch mixture to the sauce pan and stir until you reach the desired level of thickness.
4. Remove from heat and let cool.

Variations

I love this Teriyaki Brussels Sprouts recipe as written, but here are some fun variations.

• Add Toppings: Add sesame seeds, crushed peanuts, or green onions on top to elevate the dish more.
• Make it Spicy: Add sriracha to make it spicy.
• Make it Kung Pao: You could substitute Kung Pao sauce for Teriyaki sauce.
• Mix up the Vegetables: This recipe would also work with roasted broccoli or cauliflower.

Make it in the Air Fryer:

To make Air Fryer Teriyaki Brussesls Sprouts, heat your air fryer to 350 degrees and spray with cooking spray.  Toss the prepared sprouts in the sesame oil.  Lay the sprouts in an even layer on the pan.  Cook until crispy for about 12 minutes, topping once halfway through cooking.

FAQ

How do I store Brussels sprouts?

I think this recipe is best served right out of the oven but they can be stored for food prep.  Store these cooked Brussels sprouts in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.   You can technically freeze these, but the texture is better fresh.

Should I blanch my Brussels sprouts before roasting?

You do NOT need to blanch your fresh Brussels sprouts before roasting.  Just wash them and cook them in the oven from raw.

Should I cover my Brussels sprouts while roasting?

No, you should not cover them that will cause them to steam instead of roast and they will not be crispy.
