There’s something about the garlicky notes of scallions and the spicy freshness of ginger that makes them great friends — which is why often times you’ll see the two in a sauce with little more than oil and soy sauce.
These Brussels sprouts are inspired by this delicious pairing. Pieces of scallion and finely grated fresh ginger are tossed with halved Brussels sprouts, olive oil, kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and soy sauce (or tamari). As the vegetables roast, the scallions and ginger sweeten and the soy sauce brings a hit of salt and umami. Preheating the sheet pan before adding the ingredients also ensures the Brussels sprouts get extra crispy.
Ginger and scallions — so much greater than the sum of their parts.

Ingredients
- 1 pound
Brussels sprouts
- 10
medium scallions
- 2 teaspoons
grated peeled ginger
- 3 tablespoons
olive oil
- 1 teaspoon
low-sodium soy sauce or tamari, plus more as needed
- 1/2 teaspoon

Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 425°F. Place a baking sheet in the oven while it heats. Meanwhile, trim and halve 1 pound Brussels sprouts. Trim 10 scallions and cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Peel and mince until you have 2 teaspoons ginger.
Place the Brussels sprouts and scallions on the hot baking sheet. Season with the ginger, 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce or tamari, 1/2 kosher teaspoon salt, and a generous grind of black pepper, and toss to combine. Arrange the Brussels sprouts in a single layer cut-side down.
Roast for 15 minutes. Flip the Brussels sprouts and continue roasting until crispy and tender, 10 to 15 minutes more. Taste and season with more soy sauce as needed.
