  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts (trimmed and halved)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 35 dried red chili peppers
  • ¼ cup tamari sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon keto brown sugar substitute
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger (minced)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange them cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  2. While the sprouts roast, heat more olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add dried chili peppers, minced garlic, ginger, and the white parts of green onions. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Stir in tamari sauce, rice vinegar, keto brown sugar substitute, and sesame oil; simmer for 2-3 minutes. If using xanthan gum, whisk it in now.
  4. Once the Brussels sprouts are roasted, combine them with the sauce in the skillet. Toss gently until coated and glossy.
  5. Serve hot garnished with green onion tops and roasted peanuts if desired.
