Sweet-and-Sour Brussels Sprouts

White soy sauce is sweeter than regular soy sauce, a good counterbalance to the earthy brussels sprouts.

Ingredients

Makes 8 servings

2 1/2 pounds brussels sprouts, trimmed, halved lengthwise
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon white soy sauce or reduced sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons unsalted, roasted pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper or 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss brussels sprouts and 3 tablespoons oil on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Roast, tossing halfway through, until softened and cut sides are brown, 20–25 minutes.

    步骤2

    Whisk vinegar, sugar, fish sauce, soy sauce, and remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large bowl. Add brussels sprouts and toss to coat; transfer to a platter. Top with pumpkin seeds and rosemary; sprinkle with Aleppo pepper.

    步骤3

    DO AHEAD:Vinaigrette can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.

  • Really liked the flavors this recipe delivered. We love brussels sprouts, especially roasted. This is definitely a keeper. The vinaigrette added a nice sweet, spicy, acid punch to the sprouts. Didn't use white soy, but 'regular' soy, mixed in rosemary and aleppo pepper in the vinaigrette instead of sprinkling on top. I did use the pepitas seeds as garnish -- they did add 'crunch' but not sure they are necessary. Will be making this again.

  • This has become our "go to " recipe for brussel sprouts. We subscribe to our local CSA produce box and it is brussel sprout time of year so we have enjoyed this recipe twice in the last few weeks. I love the flavors in this recipe and wouldn't change a thing! I had the left overs for breakfast this morning!!

  • This was really good. Very easy and quick to prepare. The dressing adds a nice tang and the chopped rosemary added to the finished dish adds a nice herbal accent.

  • We've made this twice this week and love it. I'm cooking for two, so the first time had some difficulties adjusting the ingredients for the marinade down. Added a little more heat with red pepper. Because I didn't have time to run out to the store that I know has pepitas, my fiance decided to crush and toast cashews since we were pairing them with Asian beef and vegetable and noodles. That worked just fine. I also just added the rosemary and red pepper to the marinade.

  • Very nice (we love brussels sprouts, though). I'd add more red pepper flakes and more pepitas next time, and I'd just mix the rosemary and red pepper flakes in with the vinaigrette so they distribute better. We just used regular soy sauce and it was fine.

  • Skipped the pepper and added a bit of garlic powder instead. Served with indian-style spicy roast chicken, heavenly.

  • Made this for thanksgiving to slightly mixed reviews. However could be user error. Might have used a bit too much olive oil in the first step. Very flavorful just wouLd want to make sure they were fully roasted before tossing with the vinaigrette.
