Ingredients
  

1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

2 tablespoons fresh ginger, finely minced

3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (your choice for sweetness)

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a hint of heat)

2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)

Fresh cilantro leaves or sliced green onions (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Make sure it's completely heated before placing your Brussels sprouts in.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts with the finely minced ginger, garlic, soy sauce, honey or maple syrup, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes if you’re opting for spice. Stir well to coat the Brussels sprouts evenly with the marinade, ensuring every piece is deliciously flavored.

      Spread the coated Brussels sprouts onto a baking sheet in a single layer for even roasting. Be sure not to overcrowd them, which allows for that crispiness!

        Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, give the sprouts a good toss to help them brown evenly and caramelize beautifully.

          After roasting, remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven. If you like, drizzle a little extra soy sauce over the top to enhance the flavor further.

            Carefully transfer the roasted Brussels sprouts to a serving dish. Finish by sprinkling with toasted sesame seeds and garnishing with fresh cilantro leaves or sliced green onions for a pop of color and freshness.
