Recipe for vegan Pan-Roasted Brussels Sprouts in soy sauce – the perfect side dish for Thanksgiving or Christmas Dinner! Easy to make and absolutely delicious!

Whenever I post a food photo on Instagram where I made Brussels sprouts as a side dish, people ask me how I make them.

And with the upcoming holidays, it’s the perfect time to show you how I make Brussels Sprouts, that are soft, yet crispy. And all of this, without an oven.

I just love making Brussels Sprouts in a pan because you have more control over the browning process.

But first, a little fun fact about me: I didn’t eat any veggies until I was like 17. I just didn’t like them. I mean, I ate potatoes and tomato sauce. But no real veggies. And the worst of the worst were Brussels sprouts. I couldn’t even stand the smell. Weird, ha? Now I can’t get enough of them. And my former worst enemies, spinach and Brussels sprouts are my best friends. Yeay, veggies!

This is a good recipe but it doesn't taste anything like the ones I ate at The Green Elephant in Portsmouth. Is it really theirs?There seems to be something missing.
