Crispy Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Miso Maple Dressing
These Miso Maple Roasted Brussels Sprouts are crisp and caramelized around the edges, then tossed in a sweet, savoury, umami-rich dressing. Finished with juicy pomegranate arils, they’re an easy vegan side dish that feels festive enough for the holiday table but simple enough for any dinner.
Pre-heat your oven to 200°C / 400°F. Trim and halve your Brussels sprouts.
2 lbs Brussels sprouts
On a large sheet pan, toss the Brussels sprouts with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper
Arrange the sprouts cut side down on the tray, and place into the oven to roast for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown and crisp on the outside.
While the sprouts are roasting, make your dressing. Whisk together miso paste, maple syrup, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and Dijon mustard until smooth. Taste, and adjust seasonings if necessary.
2 Tbsp light miso paste, 2 Tbsp light soy sauce, 2 Tbsp maple syrup, 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 3 Tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tsp smooth Dijon mustard
Remove the sprouts from the oven, and side them into a serving dish. Toss with about half of the dressing, and then scatter pomegranate arils over top.
