Crispy Teriyaki Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Let’s be honest—Brussels sprouts haven’t always had the best reputation.

For a long time, they were the overcooked, bitter veggies pushed around the plate and politely ignored.

But if you’ve only ever had them boiled to oblivion, it’s time to reintroduce yourself.

These crispy teriyaki Brussels sprouts are roasted to golden perfection, then tossed in a sticky, savory-sweet glaze that makes them straight-up addictive.

Roasting brings out their natural sweetness and nutty depth, while the teriyaki sauce adds a bold, umami-rich punch that clings to every crispy edge.

They’re the kind of low-effort, high-reward side dish you’ll want to make on repeat.

Whether you’re trying to impress at dinner or just need a quick veggie fix that doesn’t taste like, well, vegetables.

Why You’ll Love These Teriyaki Brussels Sprouts:

• They crisp up like a dream. Roasting at high heat brings out their natural sweetness and gives those outer leaves an irresistible crunch.
• That teriyaki glaze? Next-level. Sweet, salty, and a little tangy—it clings to each sprout like magic.
• Quick and easy. Just toss, roast, glaze, and finish. No fancy steps. Minimal cleanup.
• Actually good for you. Brussels sprouts are full of fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants—so you’re basically snacking on something super nutritious without even trying.

The Teriyaki Touch:

Teriyaki sauce is a flavor powerhouse—savory, sweet, and just a little tangy.

It’s typically made with soy sauce, a sweetener like honey or sugar, and a hit of garlic and ginger.

That combo creates a glossy glaze that clings to the roasted sprouts without overwhelming them, adding the perfect amount of richness and balance.

Roasted Teriyaki Brussels Sprouts Recipe

Print

This recipe is incredibly simple and requires minimal hands-on time. The oven does most of the work, leaving you with a flavorful and impressive side dish.

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 25 minutes

Total Time 35 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved (or quartered if they’re big)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• ¼ cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional, for a little kick)

Instructions

1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, toss your Brussels sprouts with olive oil until they’re nicely coated.
2. Roast the Sprouts. Spread them out on a baking sheet (cut side down works best for crispiness). Don’t overcrowd them—if needed, use two pans so they roast instead of steaming. Roast for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway, until they’re golden and crispy on the edges.
3. Glaze & Toss: While they’re still warm, toss the sprouts in a bowl with the teriyaki sauce and sesame oil. Make sure they’re well-coated.
4. Back in the Oven: read the glazed sprouts back onto the baking sheet. Roast for another 5–10 minutes until the glaze thickens and gets a little sticky. Keep an eye on them—they can go from perfect to too charred fast.
5. Garnish & Serve: Transfer to a serving plate. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and a few red pepper flakes if you like a little heat. Serve right away and watch them disappear!
