Elevate Roasted Brussels Sprouts With One Salty Sauce

Brussels sprouts are an amazingly versatile vegetable with a mellow flavor, and one umami-bomb sauce can make them irresistible: fish sauce.

Fish sauce is created from fermented fish such as anchovies and boasts a salty, savory flavor that is super umami with a hint of sweetness. It’s

a staple condiment across Asia.

Fish sauce complements Brussels sprouts’ mild, earthy flavor and adds a rich, salty, and slightly sweet savoriness. Moreover,

fish sauce can help balance

spices and add more depth.

When incorporated with roasted Brussels sprouts, fish sauce can create a rich, caramel-esque coating. It also pairs well with shallots, lime, chiles, pepper, garlic, and more.
