Ingredients

  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts
  • 1 tablespoon avocado or other neutral oil
  • ¼ teaspoon coarse salt plus more for topping
  • ¼ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper

Honey Miso Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoon avocado or other neutral oil
  • 2 tablespoon honey brown sugar for vegan recipe
  • 2 tablespoon white miso paste
  • 1 tablespoon hot water plus more if needed
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red chili flakes or a generous dash of hot sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon coarse salt
  • toasted sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes at 400°F.
  • Use a chef's knife to cut off the root end of the Brussels sprouts. Then slice in half lengthwise (quarter if the sprouts are very large). In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with 1 tablespoon oil, ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper.
  • Place the seasoned sprouts in the pre-heated air fryer basket in a single layer. Work in batches if needed. Cook at 400°F for 5 minutes. * Make the sauce in the meanwhile (see next step).*
    Shake. Cook 5 more minutes. Enjoy warm, sprinkled with additional salt, parmesan and black pepper if desired.
  • In a large bowl, whisk all ingredients for the honey miso sauce. Set aside.

Notes

For oven roasting:

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Once the Brussels sprouts are halved and seasoned, place in a single layer on a sheet pan with the cut side down for maximum caramelization and flavor. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, turning halfway. Whisk the sauce in a large bowl while they roast. Toss the roasted Brussels sprouts in the sauce. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve.
 
More Tips for Success
Cut the Brussels sprouts into evenly-sized pieces for even cooking.
Enjoy right away. This recipe is best enjoyed the same day while it’s still warm. But you can reheat in the microwave or use room temperature leftovers in other ways the next day. Try adding to a roasted vegetable salad or flatbread pizza.
Experiment with different seasonings. You can use the honey miso sauce I’ve shared in the recipe, sprinkle with garlic and parmesan and a squeeze of lemon juice, or simply season with salt, pepper and extra virgin olive oil and a drizzle of maple syrup.
