Roasted Brussels Sprouts in Soy Sauce and Peanut Oil – Asian Style

Brussels sprouts are not something everyone likes. You either like it or not, there is no grey area when it comes to Brussels sprouts. The secret is to somehow make their core less bitter. I decided to roast them as opposed to cook them and surprisingly the result was really good. They came out crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside and the soy flavor actually covered the bitterness so overall a very good option to prepare your sprouts.
