A delightful twist on roasted Brussels sprouts, infused with a savory sesame ginger glaze.
Trim the ends and any yellow leaves from the Brussels sprouts, then cut them into quarters.
Cutting the sprouts into quarters ensures even cooking and allows them to caramelize better.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, grated ginger, sesame oil, and honey until well combined.
Mixing the sauce beforehand ensures the flavors are evenly distributed.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the sesame oil. Sauté the onion until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir occasionally to prevent the onion from burning.
Increase the heat to medium-high, add the Brussels sprouts and water, cover, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring once.
Covering the skillet helps steam the sprouts, making them tender.
Remove the cover and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the sprouts are tender and caramelized, about 5 more minutes.
Stirring frequently prevents sticking and ensures even caramelization.
Pour the sauce over the sprouts and stir to coat evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes to heat through.
Ensure the sauce coats all the sprouts for maximum flavor.
Serve the Brussels sprouts warm, garnished with sesame seeds if desired.
Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
