SPICY ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS
Recipe by Nikita Sanches, Rock City Eatery

Ingredients:
1 pound fresh brussels sprouts
3 tablespoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon galangal powder
3 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons agave syrup
2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lime juice
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon Gochujang Kosher salt
1/4lb of cherry tomatoes, halved
2 tablespoons roasted peanuts
2 tablespoons sliced scallions
fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions:
-Preheat oven to 400°F and set a rack on the very top.
-Prepare the brussels by slicing them in half from top to bottom and remove the excess or loose exterior leaves.
-Soak the cut brussels for a minute in water to clean them.
-Drain and spread Brussels out on a paper towel to dry while the oven is pre-heating.
-Spread the brussels out on the sheet tray.
-Generously drizzle the brussels with sesame oil; sprinkle with Kosher salt and galangal powder.
-Stir with your hands to ensure brussels are well-oiled and salted.
-Place in the oven on the top rack for about 30-45 minutes. (After 15 and 30 minutes, stir the brussels to ensure all sides get crispy and charred.)
-During the last 5-10 minutes of cooking, reduce remaining ingredients in a sauté pan over medium-high heat until sauce is thickened (about 3 minutes).
-Remove brussels from the oven once all brussels are crispy and slightly charred. Place them in a bowl and toss with peanuts, scallions, tomatoes and some of the reduced sauce.
-Top with fresh cilantro.
