Miso Glazed Brussels Sprouts
I love roasted Brussels sprouts, add an umami-rich miso glaze over them and you have some delicious Miso Glazed Brussels Sprouts. These are perfect as a snack, side dish, or to add to a bowl (like this Roasted Vegetable Bowl with Peanut Sauce). This makes a perfect holiday appetizer as well!
I never really ate Brussels sprouts growing up so after I discovered how much I LOVE them, I use them often with bowls, salads, or just as a snack. When I was getting ready for baby #2 to be here, I was been snacking like crazy. This snack was definitely one that my husband and I used to finish in one sitting!
Brussels sprouts are also full of nutrients! They are packed with fiber (helps digestion + helps control hunger and blood sugar), Vitamin C (great for boosting immunity, and healing), and Vitamin K (needed for blood clotting and bone building), and folate (helps form DNA and RNA which is great during pregnancy too!).
📋 Ingredients
Brussels Sprouts. Our hero ingredient in the recipe!
Miso Glaze:
- White miso paste. Miso is often used in Japanese cooking and made through a fermentation process either using soybeans and/or grain. There are many different types of miso...I used white miso paste in most of my recipes. The flavor in white miso paste is a soft umami flavor with a milder and sweeter taste. Because of the fermentation, miso is high in probiotics.
- Rice vinegar. Really ties the ingredients together and brings out the flavor.
- Maple syrup. Gives it the glaze of the miso glaze.
- Garlic. Because we like to add a bit of savory to this!
- Olive oil or any neutral oil will work here.
- Sea salt. I love the flavor and texture that rock sea salt gives here.
📖 Instructions for Miso Brussels Sprouts
Roast Brussels Sprouts
- Wash your Brussels sprouts extremely well, remove the ends, then quarter or halve them. Tip: ALWAYS wash your produce, even if it says it's been triple-washed! This is a great resource for washing your fruits and vegetables.
- Roast the brussel sprouts for 15 minutes then flip them and roast for another 10 minutes. At this time, make the miso glaze.
- When cooked, the Brussels sprouts will have crispy edges and a tender center. Remove them from the oven add most of the miso glaze over the roasted Brussels sprouts and cook them for another 5 minutes. I like to keep some extra for additional dipping or drizzle some extra over the Brussels sprouts at the end.
Make the Miso Glaze
- Whisk together some white miso paste, rice vinegar, maple syrup, minced garlic, olive oil, and sea salt.
To Air Fry Brussels Sprouts:
- Oil and salt the Brussels sprouts and place them in the air fryer at 375 degrees F. Cook for 5 minutes, toss, then cook for an additional 5 minutes. Once they start to brown and crisp, add them to the miso glaze, toss well, and place them back in the air fryer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
