Ingredients & Substitutions
Brussels sprouts are a powerhouse of nutrients! When choosing, look for firm, bright green sprouts. The white miso adds a unique depth that balances perfectly with the maple syrup's sweetness. If you can’t find white miso, yellow miso works too, but it’s a bit stronger in flavor. And feel free to adjust the sweetness – if you like it sweeter, add another splash of maple syrup!
Tips & Notes
- •If you want an extra kick of flavor, add a splash of rice vinegar to the sauce before tossing with the sprouts.
- •These Brussels sprouts also make a fantastic topping for grain bowls or salads!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I like to add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a little heat – it really elevates the flavors!
- •You can also toss in some chopped nuts or seeds for added crunch and nutrition.
Storage & Freezing
These sprouts are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just reheat them in the oven or air fryer to get that crispy texture back!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen Brussels sprouts?
I recommend using fresh for the best texture, but if you only have frozen, make sure to thaw and drain them well before using.
What can I substitute for miso?
If you can’t find miso, you could try tahini or even a soy sauce mix, but it won’t have the same depth of flavor.

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This is the perfect temperature for getting those Brussels sprouts nice and crispy.
- 2
In a large bowl, combine the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, miso paste, maple syrup, garlic powder, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the sprouts are evenly coated.
- 3
Spread the Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This helps them roast evenly and prevents sticking.
- 4
Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes. You want them to be golden brown and crispy on the outside, but tender on the inside. Give them a stir halfway through to ensure they cook evenly.
- 5
Once they’re done, take them out of the oven and let them cool for a minute. Then, sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced scallions for a fresh crunch.
- 6
Serve warm and enjoy the symphony of flavors! These are perfect alongside any main dish or just on their own as a snack.
