Instructions:

1. Preheat Your Oven:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Brussels Sprouts:
- Trim any discolored outer leaves from the Brussels sprouts and cut each sprout in half.
3. Roast Brussels Sprouts:
- Toss the halved Brussels sprouts with 2 tbsp of olive oil, ensuring they're evenly coated.
- Spread the Brussels sprouts out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil, cut side down for optimal caramelization.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are browned and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Flip them halfway through roasting for even cooking.
4. Prepare the Sauce:
- While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, prepare the sauce.
- In a medium bowl, combine the finely chopped coriander leaves, spearmint, fish sauce, water, vinegar, lime juice, honey, minced garlic, and sliced jalapeño pepper.
- Stir the mixture until the honey is fully dissolved and all ingredients are well combined.
5. Combine Brussels Sprouts with Sauce:
- Once the Brussels sprouts are roasted to your desired level of crispiness, remove them from the oven.
- Transfer the roasted Brussels sprouts to a large bowl.
- Pour the prepared sauce over the Brussels sprouts and toss well to coat evenly.
6. Serve:
- Serve the Brussels sprouts immediately, garnished with any extra coriander or spearmint leaves if desired.

Tips:

- Ensure your Brussels sprouts are evenly coated with olive oil before roasting for a consistent caramelization.

- If you prefer less heat, remove the seeds from the jalapeno pepper or use only half to adjust the spice level.

- You can prepare the fish sauce dressing in advance and store it in the fridge to save time when you’re ready to cook.

- A squeeze of fresh lime just before serving can enhance the overall flavor profile of the dish.
