Instructions for making Crispy Brussels Sprouts

3. To serve:
   • Drizzle the soy ginger glaze over the roasted Brussels sprouts and sprinkle with the crispy fried onions.

Variations and substitutions

• Change up the seasonings to fit your taste. Try adding garlic to the sauce or roasting the sprouts with herbs such as thyme, rosemary, or sage.
• Cook the Brussels sprouts using a different method, such as stir-frying or in an air fryer.
• Substitute soy sauce for another sauce, such as coconut aminos, oyster sauce, fish sauce, or sweet and sour sauce.
• Substitute the crispy fried onions for fresh green onions, chives, scallions, or shallot.

Tips and Tricks Section for Making Crispy Brussels Sprouts

1. To clean Brussels sprouts, start by removing any outer leaves that are wilted or damaged. Then, cut off the bottom of each Brussels sprout and trim away any woody core. Next, halve or quarter the Brussels sprouts, depending on their size. Finally, rinse the Brussels sprouts under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.

2. Cut the Brussels sprouts into similar sizes. This will ensure that they cook evenly.

3. Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet. This will allow them to brown and cook evenly. Do not pile the Brussels sprouts on top of each other, as they will steam.
