Are you a brussels sprout lover or brussels sprout hater? If you're here for this recipe, you're (hopefully) a brussels sprout lover.

If you're making these spicy roasted brussels sprouts for someone who is a brussels sprout hater, this may just turn them into a lover of sprouts. Fingers crossed.

The funky gochujang pairs with the sweetness from the maple syrup to coat the brussels sprouts in a delicious umami sweet glaze. The layers of the cut brussels sprouts seem to just soak up the sauce, making for an incredibly flavorful side dish.

Ingredients

  • Brussels sprouts
  • Olive oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Gochujang paste
  • Soy sauce
  • Lime
  • Maple syrup

What is gochujang sauce?

Gochujang is a fermented chili paste that has a spicy sweet umami flavor. It's used in Korean cooking and is made from red chili pepper flakes, sticky rice (glutinous rice), fermented soybeans, and salt.

You can find gochujang in the small red tubs at Korean grocery stores, many regular grocery stores have it, and Trader Joe's even carries a version!

How to serve the spicy brussels sprouts

I love to serve the brussels sprouts alongside some rice and chicken or salmon. This sesame rice is one of my favorites.

How to make gochujang brussels sprouts
