Ingredients
For the sprouts:
  • 2 lbs brussels sprouts, trimmed and cut in half
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
For the sauce:
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic

  • ¼ cup coconut aminos, or ⅛ cup tamari
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon lemongrass paste (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • ⅛-1/4 cup water (use to thin down sauce if needed)
Toppings:

  • ½ cup golden raisins
  • drizzle of sriracha (optional, but so good!)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Grease a baking sheet with half of the olive oil.
  3. Spread halved brussels sprouts on the pan and drizzle wth remaining olive oil. Season with garlic powder, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Stir the sprouts to evenly coat them with oil and spices.
  4. Roast for about 30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until sprouts are slightly charred and crispy on the outside.
  5. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan set on medium/low heat, add the sesame oil and minced garlic. Cook for about a minute, or until fragrant.
  6. Add the remaining ingredients and stir until smooth and heated. Remove from heat and set aside.
  7. Once brussels sprouts are roasted, throw them into a wok or large skillet heated on low.
  8. Add the sauce and stir until incorporated.
  9. Remove from heat and top with peanuts, raisins, and sriracha.
