Miso-Sesame Glazed Brussels Sprouts
Roasted Brussels sprouts tossed in a savory miso-sesame glaze that crisps to golden caramelized edges, finished with sesame seeds for a nutty fragrance.
Ingredients
Sprouts
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 pinch salt
- black pepper to taste
Glaze
- 2 tbsp tamari
- 1 tbsp white miso paste
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger grated
- 1 tsp sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
Sprouts
- Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C).
- In a large bowl, toss trimmed and halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Spread sprouts cut-side down on a parchment-lined sheet and roast for 20 minutes, rotating halfway.
Glaze
- Whisk together tamari, miso paste, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger until smooth.
- Remove sprouts from oven, drizzle glaze over them, toss gently, then return to oven for 3–5 minutes until bubbling.
- Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Notes
Rotate the baking sheet 180° halfway through roasting for even browning.
If the glaze thickens too much, stir in a teaspoon of water to smooth it without diluting flavor.
