Hand up in the air if you feel like Brussels sprouts are having a moment? Or, should be having a moment? One of the biggest culinary regrets of my childhood was not giving them a proper chance to serve as the flavorful side dish I've come to love as an adult. Of course, we love roasting them in the oven with a little olive oil, salt, and vinegar, but this version is incredibly tasty and healthy. Picture a smoky flavor, hints of crispy edges that add a pop of flavor, and a kick of heat from spices you most likely already have on hand!

What makes these different? Instead of a soy sauce base for the flavor, I chose liquid aminos to:

Infuse these Brussels sprouts with amino acids
Offer a gluten-free option for those on a strict diet
Create a mild soy sauce flavor

These smoky sprouts are perfect for a side dish, but you can certainly make them a fun appetizer, too! If you have a creamy dip, try pairing with these sprouts for something tasty and guilt-free.

Tips

If you only have soy sauce on hand, you are welcome to substitute for the liquid aminos.
Keep in mind that both soy sauce and liquid aminos can be high in sodium, so note the serving size and amount.
