How to Make It
1
In a blender, combine the maple syrup, miso paste, apple cider vinegar, and tamari. Blend until smooth. Reduce speed to medium and slowly add in olive oil, allowing the dressing to emulsify.
2
Preheat oven to 375ºF. Lightly oil a baking sheet and set aside.
3
Remove tough outer leaves from the Brussels sprouts, trim any discoloration from the bottom of the stem and cut the sprouts in half.
4
In a large mixing bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with the maple-miso glaze until they are well coated. Scatter the sprouts over the oiled baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 25 minutes, checking and turning the sprouts sporadically. They should be soft when pierced with a fork and the glaze will be caramelized and slightly crispy. Serve warm.
