Miso Maple Brussels Sprouts - Vegan recipe hero image

I remember the first time I roasted Brussels sprouts; I was amazed at how sweet and tender they can become.

This recipe holds a special place in my heart because it transforms humble little sprouts into a dish that has everyone asking for seconds.

Plus, the combination of miso and maple syrup is pure magic – it’s like a warm hug for your taste buds!

What Makes This Recipe Special

  • Made with simple, plant-based ingredients that are easy to find
  • No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
  • Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike
  • Delicious results that everyone will love, vegan or not

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. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This is the perfect temperature for getting those Brussels sprouts nice and crispy.

  2. 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. 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. 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. 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. 6

    Serve warm and enjoy the symphony of flavors! These are perfect alongside any main dish or just on their own as a snack.
