Ingredients
Yield: 8 servings
- 2¼ pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed
- 3 tablespoons melted ghee, or fat of choice like extra virgin olive oil, refined coconut oil, duck fat, lard, tallow, olive oil, avocado oil, bacon drippings, etc.
- ½ teaspoon Umami Stir-Fry Powder, or Diamond Crystal kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon ghee, or fat of choice like extra virgin olive oil, refined coconut oil, duck fat, lard, tallow, olive oil, avocado oil, bacon drippings, etc.
- 1 tablespoon finely minced ginger
- 1 small shallot, minced (1 tablespoon)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- ⅓ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1½ tablespoons rice vinegar
- ½ teaspoon Red Boat fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 2 geren onions, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup minced fresh cilantro
- 1½ tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
Method
If your oven’s already hot from roasting a turkey at 450°F (using the cook recipe for Butterflied Big Bird , of course!), just leave it on. Otherwise, heat it to 450°F with the rack in the middle position.
Grab your sprouts and trim away the stems. Lift the outer leaves that easily come off and save ’em to make Brussels Sprouts Chips !
Once they’re trimmed, you can practice your knife skills by slicing them thinly or just pass ’em through slicing blade in a food processor.
In a large bowl, toss the shredded sprouts, melted fat, and salt. Stir well with your hands.
Spread the shredded sprouts evenly on a greased or foil- or parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for around 15 to 20 minutes, flipping and tossing every 5 minutes until nicely browned and tender.
In the meantime, prepare the dressing. (Or if you wanna cheat, just measure out ½ cup All-Purpose Stir-Fry Sauce for the dressing!) Melt the ghee over a medium burner in a saucepan. When it’s shimmering, add the ginger, shallot, and garlic and sauté until fragrant (about a minute).
Measure out the orange juice, coconut aminos, rice vinegar, and fish sauce and pour them into the saucepan. Raise the sauce to a boil and then lower the heat and gently bubble the dressing for 5 to 8 minutes or until it’s slightly thickened. Lift the pan from the heat, and mix in the sesame oil.
If you haven’t already, grab a knife and prepare the garnishes by thinly slicing the green onions, mincing the cilantro, and measuring out the toasted sesame seeds.
Once the sprouts are ready, take them out of the oven, and pour the sauce over the roasted sprouts. (Stop at this step if you’re making this dish ahead of time. See the Make Ahead Tip in the notes for more details.) Sprinkle on the green onions, cilantro, and sesame seeds. Turn well and chow down!
Kitchen notes
- Wanna make this slaw even faster?
- Just measure out ½ cup of All-Purpose Stir-Fry Sauce and use it in place of the dressing!
- Make Ahead Tip: If you’re serving this dish later, toss the roasted sprouts with the dressing before storing in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
