  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chili garlic paste
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • 6 small corn or flour tortillas
  • 1 small avocado, sliced
  • ¼ cup crumbled feta
  • Cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and place a baking sheet inside so it heats up as well.
  2. Coat the Brussels sprouts: Gently toss the trimmed and halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil to evenly coat them. Using a plate to drizzle oil helps achieve an even spread.
  3. Arrange sprouts on hot pan: Once the oven and baking sheet are preheated, carefully remove the hot pan and spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd them.
  4. Roast the Brussels sprouts: Bake for 12 minutes, then shake the pan gently to turn the sprouts for even browning.
  5. Finish roasting: Bake an additional 2 to 3 minutes until the Brussels sprouts are nicely browned and slightly crispy.
  6. Prepare the sauce: While the sprouts roast, whisk together chili garlic paste, soy sauce, and lime juice to create a tangy, spicy dressing.
  7. Toss the Brussels sprouts: Remove the roasted sprouts from the oven and drizzle the chili garlic sauce evenly over them, tossing gently to coat.
  8. Assemble the tacos: Place a scoop of the dressed Brussels sprouts on each tortilla. Top with crumbled feta, sliced avocado, and fresh cilantro.
  9. Serve and garnish: Optionally drizzle with extra chili garlic paste to add more heat before serving.

Notes

  • You can use either corn or flour tortillas based on preference or dietary needs.
  • Adjust chili garlic paste quantity to control the level of spiciness.
  • For a vegan version, substitute feta with a plant-based cheese or omit entirely.
  • Ensure the baking sheet is preheated to get the Brussels sprouts crispy and caramelized.
  • Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor in the sauce.
