Brussels sprouts have long been the underrated vegetable of the dinner table. They’re often met with hesitation or outright avoidance (although I personally love them). But when roasted and glazed, they easily become the star of any meal. These miso sesame glazed Brussels sprouts are a perfect example of how a simple vegetable can be transformed into a flavor-packed side dish. Sweet, savory, nutty, and utterly irresistible, these Brussels sprouts are sure to become a repeat favorite. Even my kids love them!

Ingredients

1 pound Brussels sprouts
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon white miso paste
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 teaspoons maple syrup
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

Heat the oven to 425°F. Meanwhile, trim 1 pound Brussels sprouts. Halve each sprout or quarter if large. Transfer to a large bowl.
Add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Toss until combined.
Transfer to a large 12-inch oven-safe skillet and arrange into a single layer cut-side down. Place over medium heat and cook until the bottoms start to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Toss the sprouts and arrange back into an even layer.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 7 minutes. Toss the sprouts and arrange back into an even layer. Scatter 2 thinly sliced garlic cloves over the sprouts. Return to the oven and roast until the sprouts are crisp-tender, about 6 minutes more.
Meanwhile, whisk 1 tablespoon white miso paste, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 2 teaspoons maple syrup, 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper together in a small bowl until combined.
Remove the skillet from the oven. Drizzle the glaze over the Brussels sprouts and toss to coat. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds if desired.
