These crispy ASIAN BRUSSELS SPROUTS have all of those Asian flavors we love, including soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and honey. These were inspired by the Red Lobster Brussels sprouts.
I was in search of something to serve alongside our sausage egg rolls recently and was in the mood for some Brussels sprouts. We had recently gone to Red Lobster (my mother-in-law’s favorite restaurant) and their Brussels sprouts were outta this world good.
I used those flavors as the base for my recipe and, while this is NOT an exact copycat (I’ve only eaten the Red Lobster Brussels sprouts one time), I was so happy with how these turned out! Sweet, savory, full of flavor, and so crispy!
These make a great alternative to the usual rice as a side dish for just about any Asian inspired dish.
This recipe is a little sweet, a little salty, and very easy to make. You will be happy you tried these!
Table of Contents
Ingredients:
Brussels Sprouts – You’ll want to use fresh in this recipe.
Soy Sauce – Use low sodium soy sauce if you’re very sensitive to salt.
Rice Vinegar
Honey – If you use a low carb liquid sweetener, you could make these low carb! Just add to taste.
Garlic – Use fresh minced garlic in a jar or mince your self. Try to avoid the dried garlic.
Ginger
Olive Oil
Fried Onions – The kind that go over the green bean casserole at Thanksgiving. 😉
How to make Asian Style Brussels Sprouts:
Prepare the Brussles sprouts – Trim the ends of the sprouts and cut the sprouts to keep them close to the same size. Just find a small sprout and cut any larger ones to a similar size.
Marinade them – Add your soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, honey, and oil to a bowl and stir to combine. Add in your sprouts and stir to coat. Let these sit on your counter for 15 minutes to marinade.
Cook the sprouts – Keep the sprouts in a single layer, trying to keep them from touching and cook for 12 minutes at 380 degrees F. Halfway through cooking, shake the basket a bit. When they are done cooking, remove them from the air fryer and sprinkle fried onions over the sprouts and serve!
