Crispy, caramelized Brussels sprouts get a major flavor upgrade with a sticky miso-sesame glaze. Roasted until golden and finished with a punchy umami-rich sauce, these sprouts are savory, slightly sweet, and absolutely addictive. A modern side dish that steals the spotlight.
1½ lbs Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Glaze:
1 tbsp white miso paste
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp grated fresh ginger (optional)
Topping (optional):
Toasted sesame seeds
Chopped scallions
Roast the sprouts: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast cut side down for 20–25 minutes until deeply golden and crisp.
Make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together miso, soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and ginger.
Glaze & return to oven: Drizzle glaze over hot sprouts, toss to coat, then roast 3–5 minutes more to set the glaze.
Finish: Sprinkle with sesame seeds and scallions before serving.
