To start you’re going to preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).
Then trim the bottoms off the Brussels and halve them.
Add them into a large bowl and toss with the olive oil, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
You want your Brussels sprouts to be slightly darker than golden brown and tender when finished.
While Brussels are cooking, in a medium bowl, make peanut sauce by whisking together the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, lime juice, chili garlic sauce, garlic and ginger.
Make sure this is well combined and then use warm water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dressing like consistency is reached. Set aside.
In a large pot over high heat, bring 4 cups water to boil. Add edamame and return to boil. Cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain edamame.
Into the same pot or a bowl, add green onions, sesame seeds, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Stir together well. Drizzle sesame oil, if adding, and toss until well combined.
When Brussels are done cooking, return to large bowl and drizzle balsamic vinegar over and gently toss to combine.
To serve, add Brussels and edamame to a dish and toss together gently. Drizzle with peanut sauce. Top with more green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
