1

Preheat oven to 425°. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss Brussels with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

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, pepper and red pepper flakes. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until thickened, about 3 minutes.

4

Pour sauce over Brussels sprouts and toss to combine. Return Brussels sprouts to baking sheet and broil until Brussels sprouts are glazed and sticky.

5

Garnish with peanuts, sesame seeds, and green onions before serving.
