Crispy roasted teriyaki Brussels sprouts in a simple marinade speckled with crunchy almonds. Try this delicious oil-free vegan side dish and customize it to your liking! They are an easy weeknight staple and taste great with mashed potatoes.
Preheat your oven to 425° F (220° C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Trim the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellowish or damaged leaves. Then rinse them well, pat dry and cut them into halves.
Combine teriyaki sauce, lemon juice, maple syrup, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl and stir with a spoon to combine.
Add the halved Brussels sprouts and toss them until they are evenly coated with the sauce.
Arrange your marinated Brussels sprouts in a single layer on the baking sheet cut-side down.
Place them into the oven and roast for 15 minutes until they turn golden brown and tender.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and add the sliced almonds. Give everything a stir and put the baking sheet back into the oven for 5 more minutes.
Once this time has elapsed, remove the Brussels sprouts from the oven and serve warm as a side dish.

For a richer version, add 1-2 tablespoons of sesame oil to the marinade.
