Cooking Notes

Sarah

After reading comments, I decided to roast the sprouts with just olive oil, then take them out of the oven and toss them with miso & half the suggested amount of honey, no added salt. Turned out really well, and no burned sticky mess.

modifications

I substituted a head of cauliflower for the Brussels and used white miso. Served with red quinoa.!Simple, adaptable and delicious!

Rita

I made this to see if it would be good for Thanksgiving (and wanted another recipe using miso). It’s good, but personally I prefer more savory Brussels sprouts than sweet. It could be a good recipe for those who find sprouts to be too bitter. Perhaps the honey/miso would work on other veggies, like carrots or yams?

Mary

Another suggestion: mix honey with Sriracha and toss after removing from oven roasting with just olive oil, salt and pepper.

Paul

Made this several times now. My recommendation on heat/timing: 375° for 15 minutes, stir, then 10-20 minutes at 400°. Much more control on the crisp this way. Also, purple Brussels sprouts are the bomb with this!

hz

I added 2 cloves minced garlic, and halved both the salt and honey; skipped the almonds. I liked it, but husband prefers the simpler classic style. Parchment paper or foil is a must! The umami-bomb flavors might compete too much as Tgiving side....

Sharon

I followed the recipe, and at 400 degrees for that length of time, mine burnt.

wildfyre

I loved this easy recipe but highly recommend cutting the salt in half. I also cooked it in a shallow cast iron Pan and it was a win! I didn’t have almonds but I had pine nuts that I toasted and yummy, next time I may add dried cranberries

Joy

My sprouts cooked in way less time than the recipe suggests... I cooked them for 15 min then flipped them over and cooked for another 10 min. Also, I subbed genmai(brown rice) miso paste & it tasted great. Probably more mellow/less salty than how it would have been w/red miso paste.

Tyler

I only had white miso, so added a bit extra (since it's milder than red), and ended up using slightly less honey. it was delicious! I was planning on having them as part of meal prep for the week, but snacked through half of them after dinner tonight. Perfect balance of salty, sweet, crispy, soft

Stacey

A very good side dish that comes together quickly. Miso/honey combo works very well. My only comment is that 35/40 minutes would have turned them to mush. I broiled them for a total of 10 minutes, tossing midway and they were brown, crisp, and soft without being overdone.

Karen

First time, I made recipe as written. Very, very good! 2nd time, I substituted broccoli for the Brussels sprouts. added 1 T. 100% maple syrup. Even more delicious! 3rd time, I doubled the recipe, because the broccoli tastes even better the next day when cold and there weren't enough leftovers previously. Adding the roasted almonds, slivered or chopped, is essential. Time saver - mix veg & miso marinade, refrigerate until ready to roast. Very easy, versatile, delicious recipe!

Kylie

I could only find white miso and cut the salt in half. The mixture burnt really quickly and was very black and sticky. Not sure if it was the white miso? Flavor was okay, very salty even at half salt. Would be awesome with less salt and if it didn’t burn.

Elizabeth S.

Delicious! Loved the sweet and salty mixture of flavors! As well, the simplicity of the recipe. Definitely will make again!

Karin

I, too found a burned, sticky mess after 20 minutes. Didn’t add any salt at all. Will try again by just roasting in EVOO, then tossing in the miso/honey/oil mix as a dressing once cooked.

Lia

The additional salt made them inedible. Leave out the salt because the flavors otherwise are delicious together.

Karyn in Berkeley

Rainy storm here in NorCal... read a lot of Brussel sprout recipes! Added a dollop of chili crisp to this recipe and probably a touch more miso ( to use up a container) ... Husband declared the best ever!

Cristina

Fantastic. I didn't have red miso, so I doubled the measurement and used my yellow miso. Roasted cubed purple sweet potato and Delicata squash at the same time using the left-over miso mix. Mixed them with garbanzo beans. Fantastic! This lends itself to so many variations.

Deliberational

Made as directed except for using white miso instead of red (had on hand). The cooking time as stated in the article did NOT result in burnt sprouts as it did for others! Quick, easy, and I could see the possibilities of adding other accompaniments. Nice vegan snack.

Lesley

At 425 in the convection oven my brussel sprouts were already egregiously overcooked when I checked them at 13 minutes. I used white miso and just a pinch of salt (along with some red pepper flakes), so I suspect the red miso would be too salty. I might make them again but would skip the lime which I think detracted from the earthiness.

Alex G

I roasted them with half the oil and took them out of the oven halfway through cooking and tossed them in the oil/miso mixture. Then I put them back in the oven to crisp up the edges. I like my brussle sprouts a little firmer so I shortened the cooking time. They were delicious.

Kevin

You dont need the salt, enough on the miso!! otherwise,great!!

Wilcogirl

I followed this recipe for Thanksgiving and the sprouts were edible but really overdone. I tried it again and cooked it for half the amount of time and they were delicious. I recommend lining the pan with parchment so the sticky mess can just be tossed out.

amy p.

Roasted for only 20 minutes and they were not burnt but they were overdone and mushy. I would try this again, but at a higher temp and less time

Kris

Made this for Thanksgiving and substituted Gochujang for the red miso. While I went with a 1:1 substitution, next time I’ll reduce the amount of Gochujang by about 1/3. The brussel sprouts were delicious and popular on the Thanksgiving table although packed a spicy punch.

Laurie M

This was perfection. I did add a little miso glaze after to wet the sprouts again and added shaved parmigiana cheese. Big hit

trefoiles

Flavors were great but mine were done and had crispy edges at 15 minutes at 400°. Don’t think my sprouts were that small.

Leslie T

Also added very thick pieces of bacon (cut small). Cooked the bacon in a cast iron skillet, added quartered brussels sprouts (no oil or butter used, just the bacon fat), then sauteed for a bit before sticking it in the oven. After 10-15 minutes, added the honey-miso mixture. Could've halved the honey, but still lovely!

David Baldwin

We're facing an oven shortage this Thanksgiving. Can this be made ahead and warmed just before the meal?

Kitsune

Should have read the comments wherein people said their sprouts cooked in way less time or use a lower temp. Put mine in as the recipe says for 35 mins in a 400 oven and they charred. Inedible. So sad.

Roasted Brussels Sprouts With Honey and Miso Recipe (2024)

FAQs

Why are my roasted brussel sprouts not crispy? ›

Why Are My Brussel Sprouts Not Crispy? Spread them out into a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet to avoid overcrowding. If they're too close together, they'll steam instead of roast which stops the crisping process.

Should you rinse brussel sprouts before roasting? ›

To prepare brussel sprouts, you should rinse them well or even soak them if you have enough time. Trim the bottoms and outer leaves off, then cut them in half to prep them for roasting.

How do you get the bitterness out of roasted brussel sprouts? ›

A splash of lemon juice, or even apple cider vinegar, works wonders on bitter sprouts. Another key ingredient is fat, which helps Brussels sprouts to crisp up.

How do you keep roasted brussel sprouts from getting soggy? ›

If you want your roasted Brussels sprouts to be seriously crispy, you need to crank up the heat. Roasting at a low temperature won't allow them to brown properly, so you want to get that oven nice and hot before tossing in your baking sheet. Follow this tip: Roast Brussels sprouts at a minimum of 400°F.

Should brussel sprouts be cut in half before roasting? ›

Place the sprouts cut-side down: Trim and halve the sprouts and roast them with their cut side against the baking sheet. The cut side will caramelize beautifully while the outer leaves crisp. Keep the leaves: Don't discard the outer leaves that fall away as you cut the sprouts.

Do you roast brussel sprouts face up or down? ›

Arrange the sprouts in an even layer with their flat sides facing down. Roast the sprouts until they are tender and deeply golden on the edges, about 17 to 25 minutes. Garnish if desired (see ideas below). Roasted Brussels are best served warm, but they are also good at room temperature.

Is it better to parboil brussel sprouts before roasting? ›

Unlike other vegetables, Brussels sprouts can be parboiled (even a day ahead) to reduce the roasting time without hurting their texture. That means the sprouts can be popped in the oven while the meat is resting before carving. Of course, if the main course is grilled or pan-cooked, the oven will be free for roasting.

Why do you soak brussel sprouts before cooking? ›

The soak time tenderizes the sprouts so the middles are softer. Don't worry, they won't be soggy! I would never do that to you. If, like me, you don't mind some chew to your sprouts, you don't need to soak the Brussels sprouts prior to cooking.

What is the black stuff on brussel sprouts? ›

Alternaria Leaf Spot and Blackleg are the fungal party crashers ruining your Brussels sprouts' vibe. These fungi love a moist environment and will exploit any weakness in your plants, be it a tiny wound or just the plant's natural openings.

What makes brussel sprouts taste better? ›

In the late 1990s scientists identified specific chemicals, called glucosinolates, that made Brussels sprouts taste bitter. Plant breeders started growing old seeds, previously discarded for producing paltry harvests, to identify tastier versions with lower levels of these compounds.

Why are my roasted brussel sprouts tough? ›

Like soggy steamed Brussels, Brussels sprouts that are dry and chewy are no good either. This could be caused by using too little oil for roasting. You need a nice coating of oil—enough to make the heads shiny or if they're cut, enough oil to get inside the folds of some of the leaves.

Why do brussel sprouts smell bad when cooking? ›

Yes, according to the Los Angeles Times, Brussels sprouts inherited another gene that causes them to stink up your kitchen when you cook them. When you cook Brussels sprouts they give off a gas: hydrogen sulfide. And if you are the least bit sensitive to smells, it will make you want to hurl.

Can you roast brussel sprouts ahead of time and reheat? ›

Can be made ahead of time: These roasted Brussels sprouts aren't crispy. While the roasting does provide a nice char flavor, it also leaves them soft. This means they can easily be made ahead of time and reheated for easy meal prep or leftovers.

Why do my brussel sprouts taste weird? ›

If brussels sprouts taste bitter to you, you may have a gene that senses bitter compounds in brassicas. It is similar to the gene that makes cilantro taste like soap to the people who have it, and like a yummy herb to people who don't. What tastes good on Brussels sprouts?

Why are my roasted brussel sprouts soft? ›

Moisture is the enemy of crispiness. There's nothing wrong with soft and chewy Brussels, but if your goal is the type of crispy Brussels that they're serving at your favorite bistro you MUST thoroughly dry the surface of the sprouts before sautéing and/or roasting them. If they are wet they will steam instead of crisp.

Why are my brussel sprouts still hard after cooking? ›

This could be caused by using too little oil for roasting. You need a nice coating of oil—enough to make the heads shiny or if they're cut, enough oil to get inside the folds of some of the leaves. Without oil, Brussels don't brown and soften—they dehydrate.

Why are my brussel sprouts not tight? ›

The usual problem with sprouts is that the soil in which they have grown was not firm enough. Sprouts like to grow in soil that is really well compacted and they will then form tight buttons. If the soil is too loose the buttons will be loose too.

Why are my sprouts soggy? ›

The answer is this: You need to spend more time DRAINING after you Rinse your sprouts. If you read this page you will know everything you need to know, but I'll give you the basics here. After Rinsing you MUST get as much water out of your sprouter as possible!
