We're halfway through May but here in Toronto, it still feels like early spring. It's currently 10C outside and this warm spicy miso roasted broccoli sounds really good right now.
Have you tried Miso paste before? It's soooo good. It ads umami taste to meals - that great savory taste you need along with the other four tastes (sweetness, saltiness, bitterness, and sourness) to make your food extra good.
Miso is usually made with fermented soybeans and salt, sometimes rice, or barley. I'm using chickpea miso here! It's so good, definitely a staple in my kitchen. I also really like brown rice miso. Usually, you should add miso at the end of cooking but I really like how it flavors the broccoli while it cooks in the oven. That's honestly the best part about this dish - it's full of flavor. And it has a crunch too thanks to the sesame seeds on top. So good!
How are you coping with quarantine? I'm currently finishing this post at 3:30am. Talk about procrastination, right?
Anyway, if you're anything like me, you probably get midnight cravings too. I love having leftovers of this miso roasted broccoli with plain rice as a snack at night. Or any time of the day, really. The seasoning on the broccoli is pretty salty so I like to serve it with something simple like rice, quinoa, potatoes, or even avocado toast would be great!
You can store this in the fridge for up to 4 days. I love making this on a Sunday and putting it on salads or avocado toast throughout the week. Happy cooking!

I made this with some slight modifications due to lacking ingredients on hand, but it was absolutely great! I also have done something similar with brussel sprouts and recommend both (and miso paste in general) to everyone!

This was fantastic, i used broccoli spears and did as a side to have with Indonesian chicken rice.
Was sweet,juicy and beautifuly spiced/flavoured but with bite and a lovely lightly charred smokiness,what a find.
