Asian Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Cashews: A Tasty Side Dish

These Asian roasted Brussels sprouts with cashews are packed with bold flavours and make a fantastic side dish. Roasting brings out the natural sweetness of the Brussels sprouts while giving them a crispy, caramelised exterior, perfectly complemented by the rich, savoury glaze. The contrast of soft, tender sprouts with crunchy toasted cashews adds a wonderful texture, making every bite truly delicious.

This dish pairs beautifully with my Asian Mushroom Wellington, adding even more depth and variety to your meal. The combination of umami flavours, a hint of sweetness, and a touch of nuttiness makes it a real crowd-pleaser. I loved it so much that I had to make another batch right away!

For those who enjoy a bit of heat, you can easily adjust the spice level by adding fresh chilli or a drizzle of chilli oil for an extra kick. Whether served as a side, a light meal, or even tossed into a grain bowl, these roasted Brussels sprouts are a flavourful and nutritious addition to any table!
