These sauteed spicy garlic Brussels sprout are out of this world! Pan-charred with a classic low carb keto sweet and spicy garlic sauce that everyone will love! If you’re craving Chinese take-out, but still want a healthy veggie dish that’s packed with flavor, this is it!
Lately, we have been experimenting with brussels sprout. Mainly because they are just so good for you.
But, I think I can safely say that brussels sprout are not everyone’s cup of tea. The bitterness of these cruciferous veggies for many is a big turn off!
This is why we set out to make brussels sprout recipes that are not only tasty but also low-carb/keto.
What we learned quickly after experimenting in the kitchen was that for brussels sprout to be good, they needed a sauce.
Preferably sauce that is strong and thick like that of Chinese food.
This is when we came up with the idea to make brussels sprout with our low carb keto spicy garlic sauce, which is based on the classic kung pao sauce, and boy were we happy we did!
This brussels sprout recipe is sautéed in a pan for quick cooking making it such an easy dish for any day of the week. Plus, if you’re vegan, this is the perfect dish to try!
So, if you happened to love brussels sprout or you’re looking to expand your veggie horizons, I recommend you try this easy and delicious recipe!
For this one, you will need Soy Sauce, Japanese sake (or dry sherry), Swerve/Monkfruit, Red Wine Vinegar, Sriracha, Sesame Oil and Xanthan Gum.
Here is the sake we normally use for reference. You can substitute the Japanese sake for Dry Sherry if needed.
You can purchase everything on Amazon aside from the Japanese sake.
Now, let’s get cooking!
