Teriyaki Brussels Sprouts are crispy on the edges and covered in a delicious sweet teriyaki sauce. If you don’t think you like brussels sprouts, these will change your mind!
A lot of people think they don’t like brussels sprouts. I thought I didn’t. It was until I had them prepared properly that I realized how amazing they were.
Over the holidays we took the kids out to try a new restaurant and one of the dishes we ordered was teriyaki brussels sprouts. When my daughter in law and son started raving about them I knew I had to try them too. They were delicious and I decided I needed to go home and try to recreate them.
What are Brussels Sprouts?
Did you know that brussels sprouts are actually miniature little cabbages? They grow on a stem and all you have to do is cut them off but most often you will find them sold already removed from the stem and sold by the pound.
How to Make Teriyaki Brussels Sprouts
- Slice brussels sprouts in half and cut off the rough end.
- Cover with olive oil, balsamic vinegar and salt and pepper.
- Place them cut side down on the baking sheet.
- Roast in a 375 degree F oven for 5-10 minutes. Time will vary depending on the size of your brussels sprouts. I like them crispy on the outside and slightly charred on the cut side.
- Remove from oven, place in a bowl and coat with teriyaki glaze.
- Serve warm.
How to Tell if Brussels Sprouts are Done
Use a fork test on them. Insert a fork into the sprout and see if it is fork tender. I like them tender in the middle and the outer leaves crispy. Do not over cook or they will get mushy and mush vegetables are not good!
The sweetness of the teriyaki glaze almost makes you feel like you are eating dessert! They really are that good.
So if brussels sprouts are new to you too – give them a try. I think you are going to be pleasantly surprised and if you are an experienced brussels sprouter please try this too!
