“Soy” Glazed Brussels Sprouts with Bacon
These “Soy” Glazed Brussels sprouts with Bacon are such an amazing sweet and savory side dish! The “soy” sauce is made with coconut aminos, making this a Whole30 friendly and gluten free dish.
During a recent trip to Capital Grille with some friends, they split a side of Soy Glazed Brussels Sprouts with Bacon. Unfortunately I couldn’t try them since regular soy sauce is made with wheat. They couldn’t stop raving about how amazing they were, and said, “you should try to recreate this but make it Whole30!” – Challenge accepted 🙂
The sauce in this recipe is a combination of coconut aminos, garlic, fish sauce, rice wine vinegar, olive oil, and red pepper flakes. It creates a flavor very similar to soy sauce, but with a slight sweetness from the coconut aminos. Combined with the salty bacon, it is AMAZING!
My favorite bacon is sugar free, uncured bacon from Butcher Box. You can use this link to get 10% off your first order + free bacon!
I chopped up the bacon and cooked it for 8 minutes before adding the sauce-coated Brussels sprouts. This allows them to get a little crispy.
You could serve these with some fried eggs and avocado for an amazing Whole30 and Keto breakfast!

Doubled this recipe for a large crowd and it was a hit !!
Woah baby – these are goooooood!!!  I’m never making Brussels sprouts any other way again.Â
Thank you Jessica!!
So yummy!!
Thanks Kerry!
I hope to make these for Thanksgiving this year. They sound AMAZING!!! Quick question… Could I sub gluten free soy sauce for the coconut aminos? I’m not concerned with being Whole30 compliant right now, and I already have plenty of gf soy sauce in the house, but I know the flavors are a little different. I’d hate to ruin what sounds like a fantastic recipe!
Hi! I am nervous to say yes because GF soy sauce is WAY saltier than coconut aminos! If you do try it, I would cut it by half!
Thanks so much for responding. That absolutely makes sense. I’m going to go ahead and use the coconut aminos just to be on the safe side. I hope you have a fantastic Thanksgiving!!
Thank you! I hope they turned out well!
They were great, and I’m making them again for Christmas!! Thank you!!
