Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Thai Sauce

Brussel sprouts, which look like mini cabbages has become our new family favorite. So far, I have tried cooking them in an oven. As I always say, its quite convenient. Every time I roast brussel sprouts I try it in a new way .... sometimes with a hint of garlic, sometimes topped with parmesan cheese or crunchy pine nuts. Lately, Brussel Sprouts with Thai Sauce is what my family loves.

Ingredients:

Brussel Sprouts - 1 pound

Olive Oil - 3 tbsp

Sweet Chilli Thai Sauce - 2 tbsp

Black Pepper Powder - 1 tsp

Salt

Scallions/Green Onions for garnish

 

How to roast Brussel Sprouts in an oven:

• Preheat the oven at 350 degrees F.
• Wash the brussel sprouts well. Discard the bottom hard parts of the brussel sprouts. Dice each into quarters. You can use whole sprouts as well.
• In a mixing bowl, add olive oil, Thai Sauce, salt and fresh ground black pepper. Add more or less Thai Sauce to suit your taste. Mix all the ingredients well. Spread the Brussel sprouts evenly on a baking tray. Bake for 10 - 20 minutes or until sprouts turn slightly brown. After every 5 minutes, toss the sprouts.
• Olive oil is considered best for baking, but you can use any cooking oil of your choice. You can add garlic, soy sauce or any other seasonings as well.
  

Garnish with spring onions and serve sweet and spicy Roasted Brussel Sprouts as a side dish.
