    January brings with it a slowdown. No more after-work shopping trips. No more mid-week social functions. No more late nights. Things just go back to how I like them. Calm. Slow. Predictable.

    As I write this the family is still recovering from New Years'. 9 am and the whole clan is still sleeping. As soon as they get up I'm going to tackle the holiday decorations, get them put away and then clean out the fridge. My only goals for today.

    I need to get prepared for normalcy. Reset the house. Restock the fridge. Get a new calendar for the kitchen.

    Once school is back in and everyone is back to work we will need meal plans and schedules. I totally slacked off meal planning during December. When I don't know where we are going, to what time, or who will be around, meal plans just don't make sense. I've learned that lesson before. As much as I don't like "winging it" for diner or relying on take-out, I hate wasting food. Shopping for meals that don't get made, or worst yet, meals that get made but not eaten make me a little insane. So December meant easy staples - like this chilli, or this soup. Things that cook in one pot, the slow-cooker and can be frozen. And then there was some take-out pizza.

    Needless to say, I'm looking forward to eating my veggies again. Veggies for veggies' sake.

    Can you use the miso glaze on other vegetables?

    Ya, sure can!

    This is a recipe for  Miso Glazed Brussels Sprouts, but really the glaze can be used on any vegetable you like to throw into the oven and roast. I particularly like it on carrots and broccoli. I have yet to try it on cauliflower but I think it would be fantastic. I usually double the glaze so I can use it a few times during the course of the week. Use any kind of miso you have on hand.

    For a lighter taste stick with a light miso or white miso, but, honestly, I don't find much of a difference with the dark, stronger tasting varieties. So I say, buy one kind and use it wherever a recipe calls for miso.

    I find vegetables like this hard to resist. I'll nibble on these while I get the rest of dinner to the table. And then, if there is any, I'll finish up any leftovers while I clean the kitchen afterwards. I just can't help myself. The glaze will caramelize and get sticky in the oven. I like to keep a bit for drizzling on the veggies when they come out of the oven.

    Serve these vegetables alongside anything really. As a mostly veg-family we will eat them next to any rice or pasta-based dish.

    How to make Miso Glazed Brussels Sprouts

    • First, make the glaze by dissolving miso into some warm (not hot water). Then add the remaining ingredients and set aside.
    • Clean the sprouts by cutting off the thick and tough parts of the stem ends. But leave the stems in tack so the sprouts do not unravel. Remove any tough outer leaves. Cut larger ones in half.
    • Toss the sprouts on a baking sheet with some of the glaze. Toss to coat then roast for 20-25 minutes at 400 or until the brussel sprouts are tender, browned and caramelized. 
    • Serve with the remaining glaze.

      I really got into both miso and brussels this year. Have yet to combine them though. I did make a miso-glazed eggplant similar to this and can imagine these would be great!

      Most of the time, I hate Brussels sprouts. I think I only tasted ones I like once or twice. Miso glazing may improve flavor.

        It took me many years to be brave enough to try Brussels sprouts. Now I love them, roasted in the oven I find they are the best.

      I was wondering what else to do with my miso instead of soup. This sounds delicious. I will have to try it.

      Where do you buy the Miso? Is it a paste? or more like a spice? Never bought it before.

        I find it in the Asian section of my supermarket (big city supermarket. The little corner store down the street does not carry it 🙂 ). Yes it is a paste and comes in either a small tub or a resealable pouch. Sometimes it is refrigerated and other times it is near the Soy sauce. Asian groceries will have it as well as most health focused food stores. Hope that helps
