Sticky Maple Mustard Brussels
Brussels sprouts finally living their best life - blistered and crispy in a miso-maple-mustard jacket, piled over a tangy tahini yoghurt pool.
Serves: 4 as a side dish
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
INGREDIENTS
1/3 cup (80ml) extra virgin olive oil, divided
1kg baby Brussels sprouts
1 smashed garlic clove
1/4 cup (70g) white miso paste
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons maple syrup, divided
1/4 cup (65g) tahini
1 cup (260g) Greek-style yoghurt
1/4 cup (60ml) lemon juice
1 tablespoon sesame seeds or Everything Bagel Seasoning
METHOD
Preheat the oven to 200C fan-forced. Lightly grease a baking tray using 1 tablespoon of the olive oil.
Prepare the Brussels sprouts by trimming their bases and halving them. Some leaves might loosen, and that's alright - these will turn into crispy, delicious burnt edges during roasting.
In a large bowl, mix together the garlic, miso paste, mustard, the remaining olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the maple syrup. Add the Brussels sprouts, including the loose leaves, and ensure they're thoroughly coated.
Spread the coated Brussels sprouts onto the prepared tray and roast for approximately 20 minutes, or until charred and crispy. Allow them to cool slightly while you prepare the dressing.
In a medium bowl, combine the tahini, yoghurt, lemon juice and the remaining maple syrup. Mix thoroughly.
Scoop the tangy dressing into the centre of a shallow serving bowl. Arrange the slightly cooled Brussels sprouts on top of the dressing and sprinkle with the sesame seeds or Everything Bagel Seasoning.
HINTS
Deliberately knock a few extra leaves loose when halving - the stray leaves become the crispy chips everyone fights over.
The tahini yoghurt dressing doubles as a dip or grain bowl base, so consider making extra.
Top with a fried egg or pile over quinoa and this side becomes a genuinely hearty meat-free dinner.
