Crispy Brussels with Hot Miso-Honey Glaze
Crispy Brussel Sprouts with Hot Miso-Honey Glaze
Yields: 4-6 servings
Time: 30-40 mins
INGREDIENTS
Brussel Sprouts
5 cups brussel sprouts, rinsed, trimmed, and sliced in half
2 tbsp olive oil
5 garlic cloves, smashed
1/2 tsp sea salt
fresh pepper
2 tbsp neutral cooking oil (I prefer avocado because of it’s high smoke point)
Hot Miso-Honey Glaze
1/4 cup honey
1 tbsp red miso paste
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/4 tsp allspice
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
pinch of nutmeg
salt and pepper, to taste
*1/2-1 tbsp water, to thin if needed*
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 425F
In a large bowl, toss the trimmed/sliced brussel sprout with the 2 tbsp olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat with the 2 tbsp of avocado oil (or any other neutral cooking oil). I suggest using a large cast iron skillet so that the brussel sprouts are not crowded.
Once the oil is heated, add the brussel sprouts (face down) and the smashed garlic. Do not crowd the pan, as this will affect the crispness/sear of the brussel sprouts.
Cook for 4-5 minutes until a nice char is seen on the face of the brussel sprouts.
Once slightly charred, bring the cast iron skillet into the oven. Roast for 10-15 minutes. Check and toss the brussel sprouts every 5 minutes to ensure all sides are roasted, cooked through, and crispy.
Once cooked through, turn the oven off and leave the brussels in the oven to keep warm while you make the glaze.
To Make The Glaze:
In a bowl, add the maple syrup, miso paste, and apple cider vinegar. Stir until well combined.
Stir in the allspice, red pepper flakes, and nutmeg. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
Once smooth, drizzle HALF of the glaze over the brussel sprouts and use the remaining half as a sauce to dip in on the side. If using the total amount as a glaze, the brussel sprouts may lose their crisp factor.
Garnish with red pepper flakes
