Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
- 3 tablespoons Orange juice, freshly squeezed
- 1.5 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.25 teaspoons Red chili flakes
- 0.5 teaspoons Orange zest
- 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Wash the Brussels sprouts and trim the stem ends. Cut larger sprouts in half lengthwise to ensure even cooking.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, place the Brussels sprouts cut-side down in the skillet. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Cook the sprouts undisturbed for 4-5 minutes, or until the cut sides are golden brown and caramelized.
Flip the sprouts and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Use a spatula to stir occasionally, ensuring they are cooked through yet retain a bit of crunch.
While the sprouts are cooking, prepare the glaze by combining orange juice, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, red chili flakes, and orange zest in a small bowl. Mix well.
Once the Brussels sprouts are tender, pour the glaze over them in the skillet. Toss to coat evenly.
Allow the glaze to simmer for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly and clings to the sprouts.
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the glazed Brussels sprouts to a serving dish.
Optional: Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the top for extra flavor and texture.
Serve immediately as a side dish or light main course.
