Brussels Sprouts Roasted with Miso

Brussels sprouts recipes follow a similar pattern, but not this one! The addition of red miso paste takes this recipe to new levels. This recipe is nothing like other recipes, full of fermented flavors and umami.
Brussels sprouts are a nutrient-rich vegetable packed with vitamins and minerals, and when roasted with red miso, they become a delicious and healthy dish. Fermented red miso is a traditional Japanese seasoning made from soybeans, rice, and a specific type of fungus called koji. It is known for its rich, savory flavor and numerous health benefits. When combined with the slightly bitter taste of Brussels sprouts, the fermented red miso creates a unique and delicious flavor. Roasting Brussels sprouts also brings out their natural sweetness and adds a crispy texture. This dish is tasty and packed with antioxidants, fiber and protein, making it a great addition to any meal.
The curry-dusted crispy wonton strips are the most addicting thing ever! The extra crunch is needed in the dish, and the punch of curry powder works in perfect harmony with the red miso. Plus visually, it really adds a touch of dramatic flare to the dish.
WHAT YOU NEED…
Red miso paste: a fermented soybean paste with a dark red or reddish-brown hue. Miso paste is made through a two-step fermentation process.
Wonton wrappers Eggless: We use an eggless wonton/ egg roll wrapper. We used the Twin Dragon brand from our local grocery store but many brands don’t use eggs so be sure to check the ingredient deck.
Seasoned rice wine vinegar: Seasoned rice wine vinegar is a bit sweeter than plain rice wine vinegar.
Brussel Sprouts: I love getting the Brussels sprouts still on the stem nice and fresh.
Curry Powder: We use the S&B Oriental Curry powder from our local Asian market. You can find a link to Amazon here.
