Step by Step Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°.
Step 2
On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss brussels sprouts with olive oil and season with pepper.
Step 3
Bake until the brussels sprouts are tender and slightly crispy, about 20 minutes. Transfer brussels sprouts to a large bowl (but keep the baking sheet close by). Preheat broiler.
Step 4
In a small skillet over medium heat, heat sesame oil. Add garlic and cook, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in cornstarch. Add soy sauce, water, apple cider vinegar, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, and garlic chili paste. Season with salt (if needed, being careful to not over salt, otherwise the dish may turn out too salty), pepper, and red pepper flakes. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until thickened, about 3 minutes.
Step 5
Pour sauce over brussels sprouts and toss to combine. Return brussels sprouts to baking sheet and broil until brussels sprouts are glazed and sticky.
Step 6
Garnish with peanuts, sesame seeds, and green onions.
