This recipe for succulent roasted brussel sprouts came from the website of  Cafe Gratitude, a collection of vegan eateries in California.  The restaurant group has a dedicated area where visitors can choose from a short seasonal list of recipes.  I love brussel sprouts in general but this miso glaze made with Tamari, maple syrup, red miso and apple cider gives these green babies an extra yum.  The asian-inspired dish is that combination of salty and sweet where your tongue doesn’t quite know which flavor came first.  What it does know is how good it tastes together.

Pick some nice looking brussel sprouts that look a healthy green and feel firm.  If the brussel sprouts are past their prime and wilting the texture won’t have that tiny amount crispy when cooked.

You can also add a sprinkle of chili pepper when serving if you want more spice.
