Ingredients

For the Sauce

  • 1/4 Cup Water
  • 2 Tablespoons Sugar
  • 1/2 Teaspon Pink Himalayan Sea Salt
  • 2 Tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 Teaspoon Gochugaru Chile Powder

For The Sprouts

  • 2 Pounds Brussels Sprouts
  • 3 Whole Carrots , Small, about 1 cup
  • 1/2 Bulb Fennel , Fresh, about 1 cup
  • 1 Teaspoon Pink Himalayan Sea Salt , Divided
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil , Extra Virgin, divided

Instructions

For The Sauce

  • Preheat oven to 500F.
  • In a saucepan, add all the ingredients for the sauce, and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.  Once simmering, turn heat down to medium, and cook for about 5 minutes to reduce the sauce a little bit. 
  • Turn the heat off, and set sauce aside.

For The Sprouts

  • Drizzle 1 Tablespoon of the Olive Oil on a rimmed baking sheet, and using your hands, spread it thoroughly over the sheet.
  • Trim and halve the Brussels Sprouts, and place in a large bowl.  Add 1/2 tablespoon of the Olive Oil, and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and toss well.
  • Pour the Brussels Sprouts on the baking sheet, and arrange them all cut-side down.  Place in the oven, and bake for 8 minutes.
  • While the sprouts are baking, cut the carrots into 2 inch matchsticks.  I cut the carrot in threes, then make planks about 1/8" thick.  Then, I cut the planks into strips, again, 1/8" thick. 
  • Trim the fennel of it's bottom, and the top parts, leaving the bulb.  Slice down the middle of the fattest side, and cut the core out.  Cross-section the half into two pieces, length-wise, and then cut into thin strips.
  • Place the carrots and fennel in a small bowl, and drizzle with the remaining olive oil and salt. 
  • Once the sprouts have passed the 8-minute mark, pour the carrots and fennel over the sprouts, leaving the sprouts face down and not moving them.
  • Return the pan to the oven to cook for 2 minutes more, until the carrots and fennel are only slightly cooked, and still very crisp.
  • Remove the sheet from the oven, and pour the sprouts in a large bowl.  Add the sauce and toss.  Garnish with fennel fronds.  Serve Immediately.
