Brussels sprouts roasted simply with oil, salt and pepper are absolutely delicious — but if you want something a little more interesting, add a spoonful of red miso, a powerhouse of salt and umami. Pair it with sweet honey to balance out the earthy bitterness of the brussels sprouts. A hit of lime juice after roasting perks everything up, and chopped almonds add a nice crunch. You can double or triple this recipe to feed a large crowd, or to ensure that there are leftovers.

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat the oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, miso and salt until smooth. Add the brussels sprouts and toss until evenly coated. Transfer the brussels sprouts to a rimmed baking sheet. Spread out in an even layer and scrape every last drop of the honey-miso mixture from the bowl on top.

  2. Step 2

    Roast the brussels sprouts until tender and nicely caramelized, 35 to 40 minutes, tossing halfway through with a spatula. Squeeze the lime juice over top, give the mixture a good toss and transfer to a serving dish. Sprinkle with the almonds, then serve warm or at room temperature.

After reading comments, I decided to roast the sprouts with just olive oil, then take them out of the oven and toss them with miso & half the suggested amount of honey, no added salt. Turned out really well, and no burned sticky mess.

I substituted a head of cauliflower for the Brussels and used white miso. Served with red quinoa.!Simple, adaptable and delicious!

I made this to see if it would be good for Thanksgiving (and wanted another recipe using miso). It’s good, but personally I prefer more savory Brussels sprouts than sweet. It could be a good recipe for those who find sprouts to be too bitter. Perhaps the honey/miso would work on other veggies, like carrots or yams?

The time and temperature on this is insane. Roast at a lower temp for less time if you don't want them burnt to a crisp! :(

Mary

Add grated fresh ginger and read the comments before cooking. Lower temp. 375 for 15 mins then 400 for 10.

Doubled the recipe and added a block of thawed and squeezed tofu. Did thin out the sauce with a bit of water - probably 2-3 T. Used parchment paper and cooked at 375 for 24 minutes, stirring every 8 min. This made 2 sheet pans worth. Added shallots to one of the pans. That was our favorite! Topped with pecans because that’s what we had on hand. Tasty!
