Best Ever Brussels – Take your brussels sprouts to the next level with soy sauce, balsamic capers, butter, and spices. These just may make you a serious brussels fan!
I admit that I’ve only been a brussels sprouts fan for a few years. It took me forever to decide to try them. I guess I just imagined they would taste like another steamed vegetable. Little did I know how amazing you can make them! I’ve grown to love them roasted with olive oil, salt, and pepper, but these right here are the Best Ever Brussels!
The idea for these came from a little date my husband and I had recently. I tried to recreate them at home for us, and I am happy to say they are pretty darn good too! The flavor from the soy sauce and sweet hoisin mixed with the salty balsamic capers is amazing!!
Tips for Making the Best Ever Brussels:
- We like to use Tamari soy sauce in this dish because it has a deeper, richer flavor than regular. You can use regular soy sauce too if that is what you have on hand.
- We used balsamic capers, but a different kind would also be fine to use.
- This dish goes great with a grilled steak!

I love brussel sprouts! I grew up eating them in a dish my father would make, using sour cream and butter and I believe sherry! Not sure, and he is no longer with us so I can’t ask him. I love this recipe because it adds flavors that are irresistible! I can’t wait to try it! I love your site, and your recipes are great.
