Pan-Roasted Brussels Sprouts in Soy Sauce

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. So I thought, this Thanksgiving-themed series is the perfect setting to finally explain how I make my easy pan-roasted Brussels sprouts in soy sauce.

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!

These Brussels sprouts are really simple to make. You’ll only need 4 ingredients:

• Brussels sprouts (oh.. shocker!)
• water
• soy sauce
• canola oil

Prepping the Brussels sprouts for pan-roasting is easy too. First remove loose outer leaves, then trim the stem, give them a wash and cut them in half. Told you! Easy peasy.

My magic trick to perfectly-soft and flavorful, but not mushy Brussels sprouts is to cook them in a pan with water and soy sauce to make them soft. Then pan-roast them in the same pan (the water should have magically disappeared) with canola oil for a golden color and crispy edges. Perfect. Brussels. Sprouts. Every. Time.
