This Korean glazed Brussels sprouts recipe features a sticky, spicy-sweet gochujang glaze that caramelizes perfectly on tender yet crisp sprouts. It’s a quick and flavorful side dish perfect for busy weeknights or special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)
  • 1–2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Trim off the stem ends and remove any yellow or damaged outer leaves from the Brussels sprouts. Slice each sprout in half lengthwise.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together gochujang, soy sauce, honey or maple syrup, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and sesame oil. Set aside.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the Brussels sprouts cut side down in a single layer. Cook undisturbed for 5-7 minutes until browned and caramelized.
  4. Flip the sprouts and cook for another 3-4 minutes until tender but still crisp.
  5. Pour the gochujang glaze over the sprouts and stir gently to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and clings to the sprouts. Remove from heat and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and green onions if using. Serve immediately.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure sprouts brown properly. Use medium-high heat and be patient when searing to develop a caramelized crust. Adjust spice level by varying gochujang amount. If pan dries out while glazing, add a splash of water to loosen sauce. For vegan version, substitute honey with maple syrup. Use gluten-free soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free diet.
