Lunch: Sweet-and-Sour Brussels Sprouts

White soy sauce is sweeter than regular soy sauce, a good counterbalance to the earthy brussels sprouts.

Ingredients

2 1/2 pounds brussels sprouts, trimmed, halved lengthwise
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon white soy sauce or reduced sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons unsalted, roasted pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper or 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 °F. Toss brussels sprouts and 3 tablespoons oil on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Roast, tossing halfway through, until softened and cut sides are brown, 20 –25 minutes.
Whisk vinegar, sugar, fish sauce, soy sauce, and remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large bowl. Add brussels sprouts and toss to coat; transfer to a platter. Top with pumpkin seeds and rosemary; sprinkle with Aleppo pepper.
DO AHEAD: Vinaigrette can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
