Roasted Brussels Sprouts

This vibrant dairy-free side dish reimagines roasted Brussels sprouts with a punchy Asian-inspired flair. By roasting the sprouts at a high temperature until the outer leaves are deeply caramelised and almost charred, you unlock a nutty sweetness that perfectly balances the savoury depth of the fish sauce dressing. The addition of fresh mint and coriander stems provides a bright, herbaceous lift that transforms this humble brassica into a genuine showstopper.

Perfect for those seeking a modern twist on traditional Sunday roasts or a bold addition to a dinner party spread, this recipe is all about texture. The homemade spiced puffed rice topping adds a satisfying crunch, while the red Thai chilli brings a gentle warmth to the palate. Serve these sprouts as a healthy, flavour-packed accompaniment to grilled meats or as part of a plant-forward feast.

How to make Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Preheat oven to 232°C with rack in upper third.

Toss Brussels sprouts with oil, then arrange, cut sides down, in a 17- by 12-inch shallow baking pan. Roast, without turning, until outer leaves are tender and very dark brown, 40 to 45 minutes. Add butter and toss to coat.

Stir together all dressing ingredients until sugar has dissolved.

Cook cereal, oil, and shichimi togarashi in a small skillet over medium heat, shaking skillet and stirring, until rice is coated and begins to turn golden, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cool, stirring occasionally.

Put Brussels sprouts in a serving bowl, then toss with just enough dressing to coat. Sprinkle with puffed rice and serve remaining dressing on the side.
