Roasted Miso Broccoli

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400F.

Step 2

Transfer the cut up broccoli florets onto a baking sheet. Toss them in 1 tablespoon of avocado oil. You can season with some salt and pepper if desired, but do note that the miso sauce also adds salt to this recipe!

Step 3

Place the baking sheet in the oven for about 20 minutes, or until broccoli is lightly charred and tender.

Step 4

While the broccoli is in the oven, prepare the miso sauce. To do this, start by adding mirin to a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring the mirin to a boil, and allow to boil for about 1 minute to evaporate the alcohol.

Step 5

Then, reduce the heat to medium-low and add miso paste to the mirin. Whisk continuously until it starts to dissolve.

Step 6

Once the miso has broken down, add the rice vinegar, avocado oil, and maple syrup. Bring to a boil again, whisking continuously to prevent the maple syrup from burning.

Step 7

Once a smooth sauce has formed, turn off the heat and let sit until the broccoli is finished cooking.

Step 8

Remove the broccoli from the oven. Transfer the roasted broccoli to a serving bowl and pour the miso sauce over top. Toss together and serve hot!
