- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fustini's Sesame oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce

- 2 teaspoons Fustini's Ginger & Honey balsamic

Ingredients
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425°,. On a large-rimmed baking sheet, toss Brussels with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake until Brussels sprouts are tender and slightly crispy, about 20 minutes. Transfer Brussels sprouts to a large bowl (but keep the baking sheet close by). Preheat broiler.
- 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.
- Pour sauce over Brussels sprouts and toss to combine. Return Brussels sprouts to the baking sheet and broil until Brussels sprouts are glazed and sticky. Garnish with peanuts, sesame seeds, and green onions before serving.
