• 2¼ pounds Brussels sprouts trimmed
• 3 tablespoons melted ghee or fat of choice like extra virgin olive oil, refined coconut oil, duck fat, lard, tallow, olive oil, avocado oil, bacon drippings, etc.
• ½ teaspoon Umami Stir-Fry Powder or Diamond Crystal kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon ghee or fat of choice like extra virgin olive oil, refined coconut oil, duck fat, lard, tallow, olive oil, avocado oil, bacon drippings, etc.
• 1 tablespoon finely minced ginger
• 1 small shallot minced (1 tablespoon)
• 2 garlic cloves minced
• ⅓ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
• 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
• 1½ tablespoons rice vinegar
• ½ teaspoon Red Boat fish sauce
• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
• 2 geren onions thinly sliced
• ¼ cup minced fresh cilantro
• 1½ tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

Method

1. If your oven’s already hot from roasting a turkey at 450°F (using my recipe for Butterflied Big Bird , of course!), just leave it on. Otherwise, heat it to 450°F with the rack in the middle position.
2. Grab your sprouts and trim away the stems. Remove the outer leaves that easily come off and save ’em to make Brussels Sprouts Chips !
3. Once they’re trimmed, you can practice your knife skills by slicing them thinly or just pass ’em through slicing blade in a food processor.
4. In a large bowl, toss the shredded sprouts, melted fat, and salt. Mix well with your hands.
5. Spread the shredded sprouts evenly on a greased or foil- or parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for around 15 to 20  minutes, flipping and tossing every 5 minutes until nicely browned and tender.
6. In the meantime, prepare the dressing. (Or if you wanna cheat, just measure out ½ cup All-Purpose Stir-Fry Sauce for the dressing!) Melt the ghee over medium heat in a saucepan. When it’s shimmering, add the ginger, shallot, and garlic and sauté until fragrant (about a minute).
7. Measure out the orange juice, coconut aminos, rice vinegar, and fish sauce and pour them into the saucepan. Bring the sauce to a boil and then lower the heat and simmer the dressing for 5 to 8 minutes or until it’s slightly thickened. Remove the pan from the heat, and stir in the sesame oil.
8. If you haven’t already, grab a knife and prepare the garnishes by thinly slicing the green onions, mincing the cilantro, and measuring out the toasted sesame seeds.
9. Once the sprouts are ready, take them out of the oven, and pour the sauce over the roasted sprouts. (Stop at this step if you’re making this dish ahead of time. See the Make Ahead Tip in the notes for more details.) Sprinkle on the green onions, cilantro, and sesame seeds. Toss well and chow down!
