Ingredients:
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons white miso paste
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and browned, flipping halfway through.
- While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, prepare the miso maple glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, miso paste, maple syrup, rice vinegar, and sesame oil.
- Once the Brussels sprouts are roasted, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a clean bowl.
- Pour the miso maple glaze over the Brussels sprouts and toss to coat evenly.
