These delicious Maple Sesame Ginger Roasted Brussels Sprouts will be the perfect side dish on your holiday table!
The holidays are officially upon us! I was at the playground yesterday and there was a kid wearing a Santa hat and I kept thinking it was kinda strange because we were nowhere near Christmas. And, then I realized that we are in fact very close to Christmas! The warmer desert weather always throws me off 🙂
But, before we get to Christmas we get to have Thanksgiving! Brussels sprouts make an appearance on our holiday table every single year. I was so excited the day that my husband realized that he actually enjoyed them and even more excited when he started requesting them.
I have to admit that I usually just do a basic roasted Brussels sprout with olive oil, salt and pepper. You really can’t go wrong with those flavors, but I thought it would be fun to mix things up this year. I’ve been loving experimenting with Asian flavors lately, so I decided to go that direction.
And they turned out pretty delicious! First I roast the Brussels sprouts with a little oil, salt and pepper and let them get crispy and then I add in the maple sesame and ginger flavors and they just soak right in.
If you usually go the traditional route and are looking for a fun and delicious way to mix things up this year, you should most definitely try these Maple Sesame Ginger Roasted Brussels Sprouts! They do not disappoint 🙂

Hi Izzy, I’d thought I’d pop in and say hi. Beautiful Brussels Sprouts, they are actually one of my favorite foods! My 5-year-old loves them too, big score. Thanks for sharing this.
Hi Laura! It’s so nice to hear from you! That’s awesome that your 5 year old loves them! I hope you all are doing well 🙂
Hey what can I replace for soy sauce I’m allergic to it?
Can you eat Tamari? If not, I would suggest liquid aminos or coconut amnios 🙂
