Sweet Chili Brussels Sprouts

Crispy roasted sweet chili brussels sprouts with a homemade sweet Thai chili sauce are a fun, delicious way to cook brussels sprouts! (gluten-free, vegetarian)

I think Mr. Table and I have a problem. Like, a real problem. We eat brussels sprouts almost every day. It's like an addiction. Is that a real thing, a veggie addiction? If so, we might have it.

I mean, I kind of throw a tantrum in my head when they run out of brussels sprouts at the store. Even though I know very well that I'll be back at the store in the next 24-36 hours. But brussels are like veggie crack. We just have to have them.

Ok, so I may be exaggerating just a little, but for real, y'all, Mr. Table and I eat an insane amount of brussels. But they're just so dang good. They aren't the new 'it' veggie for no reason. We usually eat them roasted with a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar (for the super easy recipe see this post), but recently, I tried a new recipe that may rival my usual one. Meet my Sweet Chili Brussels Sprouts.

These Sweet Chili Brussels Sprouts put a whole new spin on this amazing vegetable. They're still roasted until crispy and delicious, but then they're coated with a homemade sweet Thai chili sauce (which is super easy to make, by the way).  They're amazing. Slightly spicy, deliciously sweet, and the perfect change-up from your regular brussels recipe.

If you're like me and you buy brussels by the truckload, give this recipe a try! It's a super fun variation that's delicious with any Asian-inspired meal, and at the very least, you'll learn how to make Thai chili sauce! (Psst…If you need inspiration on what to serve them with, try my Miso Chicken.)
