Author Notes

I was so excited to see this on the challenge lineup. Brussels sprouts are my boyfriend's favorite vegetable, and I used to get so tired of cooking them. But finally, I took it as a challenge - and this is one of my favorite results. It's fast, easy, and tasty. —Erin Jeanne McDowell

  • 2 tablespoons oil (30 g)
  • 1/2 pound brussels sprouts
  • 5 cloves garlic, thinly sliced (25 g)

I always have three kinds of hot sauce in my purse. I have a soft spot for making people their favorite dessert, especially if it's wrapped in a pastry crust. My newest cookbook, Savory Baking, came out in Fall of 2022 - is full of recipes to translate a love of baking into recipes for breakfast, dinner, and everything in between!

This is very good! We doubled the recipe and felt that two tbsp of soy sauce made it too salty, but that's just our preference. Thanks for the recipe!

We enjoyed this dish - and loved the numbing effects of the peppercorns! Def will make this again!

This was really tasty! Salty, flavourful, smelled delicious, a bit crunchy because they weren't boiled. Wonderful.
