Equipment

  • 1 baking sheet
  • 1 small saucepan
  • 1 sharp knife
  • 1 blender to whip goat cheese (optional)

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts roughly chopped or halved
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • pinch of salt
  • pinch of pepper
  • 1 tbsp Gochujang paste
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • ½ an orange zest and juice
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp water
  • 3 tbsp goat cheese
  • toasted pine nuts for decoration, optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Arrange the Brussels sprouts on the baking sheet and drizzle on 2 tbsp of olive oil, salt and pepper. Rub the oil into the sprouts with your hands. Space out the Brussels sprouts so they aren't on top of eachother.

  • Place the sprouts in the oven to roast for 15 minutes. Give them a toss and then roast for another 5-10 minutes, until they are as crispy as you like them (but not completely black). Remove from the oven.
  • While the Brussels are roasting, make the sauce. In a saucepan, add the Gochujang, maple syrup, soy sauce, water, orange zest and orange juice. Place the saucepan over high heat and bring it to a boil, stirring frequently. Then bring it down to a simmer, and simmer it for about 4-5 minutes, until it begins to thicken. Then remove it from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes - it will become thicker. Pour the sauce on the Brussels sprouts and toss.

  • Add the goat cheese to a blender and whip it on high. If you want it to be more spreadable, add a splash of water and blend it again.
