My husband loves roasted vegetables. He’s not a big fan of salads. He thinks steamed vegetables are flavorless unless they’re doused in butter and salt. But roasted vegetables he could eat all day every day.
The challenge is that most roasted vegetables have heavy amounts of oil which dramatically increases the fat and calories of an otherwise healthy side dish.
I created this recipe for soy sauce brussels sprouts that were still bursting with flavor, nice and crispy, but oil-free.

🥣 Ingredients and Notes
Fresh Brussels Sprouts: I highly recommend using fresh brussels sprouts, not frozen. You’ll need about 1 pound. I like to get the bag of pre-washed and trimmed brussels sprouts to save time.
Soy Sauce: This acts as the oil to coat the brussels sprouts and allow them to roast, as well as add salty flavor. For a gluten-free option, use tamari.
Dijon Mustard: Gives a nice tang to the veggies.
Maple Syrup: Adds a touch of sweetness to balance out the salty soy sauce and the tang of the mustard.
Garlic: Brings tons of flavor.
Roasted Soy Sauce Brussels Sprouts Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400 F. Wash and trim the ends of the brussels sprouts. Remove any leaves from the outside that look wilted. Cut in half. If you have larger brussels sprouts you may want to cut them into quarters.
Step 2: In a small bowl whisk together soy sauce, dijon mustard, maple syrup, and garlic.
Step 3: Put the Brussels sprouts into a large zip-lock bag. Pour the garlic dijon marinade over them. Seal the bag and shake vigorously until all the brussels sprouts are evenly covered with the marinade.
Step 4: Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Evenly spread the brussels sprouts on the baking sheet in a single layer.
Step 5: Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes. Serve immediately.
💭 Expert Tips
- Even if you buy the pre-washed and trimmed brussels sprouts I recommend you wash them again, trim the bottoms, and remove any wilted leaves. This will freshen them up for the baking process.
- If you have very large brussels sprouts cut them into quarters. This will ensure they cook and caramelize in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
- If you like things a little spicier add ½ teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the soy sauce marinade.
- At the 15-minute mark of baking take the brussels sprouts out of the oven. If they need a bit more time to get that nice golden brown color give them a toss, flip them over, and roast for an additional 5 minutes.
🍽 How to Serve
Serve as a vegetable side dish or as an appetizer before the main course. These soy sauce brussels sprouts pair well with Traditional Meatless Meatloaf, vegan potato casserole.
❄️ How to Store and Keep
Allow the brussels sprouts to come to room temperature. Transfer to an airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave.

We’re not vegans but we do LOVE roasted brussel sprouts, AND roasted beets, AND roasted carrots. I often put them all on the same baking sheet. They look beautiful together and are simply delicious as well. I always make them during the holidays but after seeing your recipe, I need to start making them more and more. It’s a veggie my picky husband (also a meat and potatoes man) will always eat.
Alison Corey
I’m so happy to hear you love this brussel sprouts recipe! We made for our dinner this Christmas as well, along with some roasted rosemary potatoes! Hope you had a wonderful holiday!

Hi Allison, These look great! I’m doing a plant-based diet with my doctor to try to reverse my type 2 diabetes (wish me luck) and I am not supposed to use any kind of sweetner… I know 1 tsp of maple syrup is a miniscule amount – but if I omitted it would it be detrimental to the taste?
Alison Corey
Hi Pam!
Congrats on starting a plant-based diet! I know you’ll love it! As far as the maple syrup goes, these brussel sprouts will still turn out well if you omit it. It just adds a touch of sweetness to balance the salty soy sauce.
Pam
Awesome! Thank you for responding so FAST! I’m making them for part of my dinner tonight – so excited! <3
Alison Corey
I hope you enjoyed the recipe!
