Notes

  • Trim brussels sprouts and halve large ones for even cooking and better sauce absorption
  • Don’t overcrowd baking sheets as this causes steaming instead of proper roasting
  • Adjust gochujang quantity based on heat preference – start with less for milder flavor
  • Gochujang can be found at Asian markets or ordered online – it’s essential for authentic Korean flavor
