Ingredients

Brussels Sprouts

  • 1 lb fresh Brussels sprouts, trimmed of stems
  • 1 tbsp coarse sea salt
  • 1-2 tbsp olive oil

Sauce

  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp chipotle chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp coarse sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the Brussels sprouts.
  2. Blanch Brussels Sprouts: Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add the Brussels sprouts and reduce the heat to a simmer. Let them simmer for 4 minutes to soften slightly without losing color.
  3. Drain and Ice Bath: Drain the Brussels sprouts using a strainer. Immediately transfer them to an ice bath for 30 seconds to stop the cooking process and preserve their vibrant color.
  4. Dry and Slice: Remove from the ice bath and pat dry with paper towels. Slice each Brussels sprout in half lengthwise, keeping loose leaves as they will get crispy during roasting.
  5. Prepare Baking Tray: Place the halved Brussels sprouts and loose leaves on a rimmed baking tray sprayed with cooking spray. Optionally, line the tray with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easier cleanup.
  6. Oil and Roast: Drizzle the Brussels sprouts with 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil, tossing lightly to coat. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until they achieve a golden brown, crispy texture.
  7. Make the Sauce: While the sprouts roast, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a small bowl. Add chili powder, smoked paprika, chipotle chili powder, coarse sea salt, red pepper flakes, maple syrup, and honey. Whisk together thoroughly to combine the smoky, sweet, and spicy flavors.
  8. Toss with Sauce: Once roasted, transfer the Brussels sprouts into a large bowl. Drizzle the prepared sauce over them and toss gently to coat evenly.
  9. Serve: Serve immediately while warm and enjoy these crispy, flavor-packed Brussels sprouts as a side dish or appetizer.

Notes

  • Keeping the loose leaves when slicing adds extra crispiness to the final dish.
  • You can adjust the amount of red pepper flakes based on your preferred spice level.
  • For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the baking tray to allow proper air circulation during roasting.
  • Line the baking tray with parchment paper or foil for easier cleanup.
