Ingredients
  

  • 1 32oz bag of brussels sprouts (use more if big eaters, or not a lot of other sides)
  • juice and zest of half of a small orange
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2-3 tsp wasabi paste, plus more if needed (see tips)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • pinch of pepper

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat oven to 425 and spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • Wash the brussels sprouts. Trim the nubby end off of the sprouts and slice them in half. It is okay if some leaves fall off, they will crisp up in the oven!
  • Place the sprouts in a bowl and toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, juice of 1/2 of an orange and 2-3 tsp of wasabi paste. Toss well so the wasabi paste is not clumped to one sprout.
  • Place the brussels sprouts flat side down on sprayed baking sheet, and bake for 25 minutes. Open the oven and using tongs, remove and save any crisp brussel leaves so they don't burn. Place sheet back in the oven and cook another 10-15 minutes (35-40 mins total, depending on size).
  • Remove sheet from oven and finish with the zest of 1/2 of an orange! Enjoy!

Notes

Tips:
  • The spicy bite of the wasabi will bake off in the oven, leaving you will no nose burning, but a nice wasabi flavor.  Sometimes I add even more than 3 tsp of wasabi, because I find that the sprouts need more wasabi flavor!! 
  • Taking the sprouts out around 25 minutes to remove the loose leaves ensures that they don't over crisp and burn.
  • If your family members are big brussels sprouts lovers, I recommend doubling the recipe.  It may seem like a lot, but brussels sprouts shrink a lot in size after baking.  Just keep in mind being careful about how much wasabi paste you use.
