This variation on Kung Pao sauce has a surprising kick.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and cut in half lengthwise
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon each sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3–4 tablespoons chili garlic sauce, depending on your preference
- 4 tablespoons rice wine
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 6 tablespoons brown sugar
- ½ cup unsalted, roasted peanuts
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Place the Brussels sprouts on a rimmed baking sheet, toss with the olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast, turning once, until tender and lightly browned on the edges, 20 to 25 minutes.
Step 2
While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, prepare the sauce. In a medium saucepan, stir together the chili garlic sauce, rice wine, soy sauce, and brown sugar and heat through.
Step 3
When the Brussels sprouts are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl, toss with the sauce, and top with the peanuts.
