These delicious Maple Sesame Ginger Roasted Brussels Sprouts are the perfect side dish on your holiday table! Of course, they’re also a flavorful and nutritious side or appetizer for any occasion.
The holidays are officially upon us! I was at the playground yesterday, and a kid was 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 have Thanksgiving! Brussels sprouts make an appearance on our holiday table every year. I was so excited the day my husband realized he enjoys them, and even more excited when he started requesting them.
Maple Sesame Ginger Roasted Brussels Sprouts Recipe Ingredients
- Brussels sprouts
- Olive oil
- Spices – I used salt and black pepper.
- Fresh garlic and ginger
- Pure maple syrup
- Sesame oil
- Tamari – Soy sauce also does the trick. I prefer the low-sodium option.
- Optional garnishes – Toasted sesame seeds, red pepper flakes, etc.
How To Make These Flavorful Roasted Brussels Sprouts
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Wash the Brussels sprouts, trim off the tip of the stem, and cut them in half.
- Line a large baking sheet with a non-stick mat or parchment paper. On the baking sheet, toss together the Brussels sprouts, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast Brussels sprouts for 25 minutes.
- While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, mix together the maple syrup, sesame oil, tamari, garlic, and ginger in a small bowl.
- Remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven and pour the sauce mixture over them. Mix until everything is combined, and then return them to the oven for 10 minutes.
- Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and red pepper flakes, if desired, before serving.
- This recipe is vegan and gluten-free.
- I admit I usually do a basic roasted Brussels sprout with olive oil, salt, and pepper. You can’t go wrong with those flavors, but I thought mixing things up this year would be fun. Lately, I’ve loved experimenting with Asian flavors, so I decided to go that route for this recipe.
- First, I roast the Brussels sprouts with a bit of oil, salt, and pepper, and let them get crispy, and then I add in the maple, sesame, and ginger flavors, and they 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, try these Maple Sesame Ginger Roasted Brussels Sprouts; they do not disappoint 🙂
- Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.

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 🙂
