yummytummies: Crispy Brussel Sprout Chips

One of my favorite restaurants right now is Gyu-Kaku. The one in Windward Mall really surprised me with their Brussel Sprout Fries.

I want to like brussel sprouts so I gave it a try... And I... seriously... fell in love.

Gyu-Kaku Brussel Sprout Fries

I came up with a copy-cat recipe with my own spin on it.

So enjoy!

I know I did.

Ok. Start by cleaning the brussel sprouts, then pat them dry. Chop the ends off. And peel or cut them into thin slices. Its up to you. I did them both ways.

Also you may choose between olive oil....

Or coconut oil. I made them side by side to compare.

Add a little salt.

And some freshly grounded pepper.

On the left is the coconut oiled brussel sprouts. On the right is the olive oiled brussel sprouts.

Line the sprouts on a baking sheet. Add more seasoning if desired.

Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden, crispy and slightly fragrant. 400 degrees F.

In the meantime, make the sauce.

To make the sauce, mix a tablespoon of mayonnaise with about a teaspoon of wasabi paste.

Combine it until its a smooth yellow-green-ish color.

Gyu-Kaku restaurant added honey in their sauce (I didn't have honey so I used Agave.) I noticed the sweetness was a nice complement to the wasabi's spiciness and blended very well together.
