Description

This vibrant Brussels Sprouts with Gochujang Butter recipe combines roasted Brussels sprouts with a spicy, savory-sweet Korean-inspired butter sauce. Toasted walnuts and dried cranberries add texture and bursts of flavor, making it a perfect side dish for any meal. The gochujang butter melts into the warm sprouts, coating them in rich, spicy goodness with a hint of sweetness from brown sugar and a nutty touch of sesame oil.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 12 ounces shaved Brussels sprouts

Seasonings and Oils

  • 1 tablespoon avocado or olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Nuts and Fruits

  • 3/4 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries

Gochujang Butter

  • 4 tablespoons salted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons gochujang sauce
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar (optional)
  • 1 small clove garlic, grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for roasting the Brussels sprouts.
  2. Prepare the gochujang butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened salted butter with gochujang sauce, toasted sesame oil, brown sugar (optional), grated garlic, and soy sauce. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated. This can be made ahead and chilled in the fridge.
  3. Coat the Brussels sprouts: Place the shaved Brussels sprouts on a sheet pan. Drizzle them with avocado or olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Toss well to ensure even coating for roasting.
  4. Roast the Brussels sprouts: Roast the sprouts in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes until they become golden, crispy, and tender.
  5. Add and toast walnuts: Sprinkle the roughly chopped walnuts over the roasting Brussels sprouts. Return the pan to the oven for an additional 3 to 5 minutes to toast the walnuts lightly.
  6. Combine with cranberries and gochujang butter: Remove the pan from the oven and immediately add the dried cranberries and the prepared gochujang butter. Toss everything together while still warm so the butter melts and coats the Brussels sprouts thoroughly.
  7. Serve and enjoy: The dish is now ready to serve. Enjoy the rich, spicy, nutty, and sweet flavors melding in every bite.

Notes

  • For a nuttier flavor, consider lightly toasting the walnuts before chopping.
  • Adjust the amount of gochujang sauce based on your preferred spice level.
  • You can substitute dried cranberries with raisins or chopped dates for a different sweetness profile.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the gochujang butter melted over the warm sprouts.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated gently on the stovetop or oven.
