As a Korean immigrant who grew up in the US, our holiday cooking traditions always looked a little different. We often incorporated Korean and fusion dishes, and I always loved being able to experience 2 different cultures.

To marry together my love for the holidays with my childhood favorite flavors, I decided to these Korean style brussel sprouts, and I have become quite obsessed. They are crunchy, tangy, slightly sweet, with a deep sesame flavor, and I just can’t get enough.

While brussels sprouts are not commonly seen in Korean dishes, they are one of my favorite vegetables. For this dish, I decided to combine brussel sprouts and kimchi and the result is surprisingly tasty with wonderful textures. The paleo and vegan roasted brussel sprouts have such a wonderful flavor and char, and they are fantastic with the spicy and tangy kimchi sauce!

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these paleo and vegan brussels sprouts spicy?

This depends on the spice level of the kimchi you use, but generally, no. The brussels sprouts to kimchi ratio is high enough that you’ll only get the subtle heat of the kimchi and a lot of its wonderful flavors.

What can you serve this dish with?

I recommend serving these kimchi brussels sprouts with a hearty protein dish like chicken, turkey, pork, or even steak. You can even serve it over rice, since it packed with so much flavor!

How long do the leftovers last?

You can enjoy this dish within 3-4 days stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container. To reheat, just microwave for about 1-2 minutes until warm.
