Ingredients

• 500 grams Brussels sprouts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
• 3 tablespoons Orange juice, freshly squeezed
• 1.5 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.25 teaspoons Red chili flakes
• 0.5 teaspoons Orange zest
• 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the Brussels sprouts and trim the stem ends. Cut larger sprouts in half lengthwise to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 3

Once the oil is hot, place the Brussels sprouts cut-side down in the skillet. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper.

Step 4

Cook the sprouts undisturbed for 4-5 minutes, or until the cut sides are golden brown and caramelized.

Step 5

Flip the sprouts and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Use a spatula to stir occasionally, ensuring they are cooked through yet retain a bit of crunch.

Step 6

While the sprouts are cooking, prepare the glaze by combining orange juice, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, red chili flakes, and orange zest in a small bowl. Mix well.

Step 7

Once the Brussels sprouts are tender, pour the glaze over them in the skillet. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 8

Allow the glaze to simmer for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly and clings to the sprouts.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the glazed Brussels sprouts to a serving dish.

Step 10

Optional: Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the top for extra flavor and texture.

Step 11

Serve immediately as a side dish or light main course.
