Roasted Miso Broccoli

Charred and caramelized broccoli tossed in a savory-sweet miso glaze, then roasted until crispy on the edges and tender inside.

Sometimes, the best dishes are the ones that should be sides—but end up being the star. That’s exactly what happens every time I make this Roasted Miso Broccoli.

If you’ve never roasted broccoli with miso before, prepare to be blown away. The high-heat roast gives the florets irresistibly crispy edges, while the miso glaze adds layers of flavor—salty, sweet, earthy, and umami-rich.

This recipe transforms humble broccoli into something craveable. It’s easy to prep, done in under 30 minutes, and completely versatile. Serve it as a side to grilled salmon, tofu, or rice bowls—or eat it straight off the pan. (Yes, it’s that good.)

It’s also the kind of recipe that feels wholesome but totally restaurant-worthy. The glaze caramelizes just enough to cling to each crispy edge, and when you hit it with the right garnish? Magic.

Garnish Ideas That Work Beautifully

Here are a few finishing touches that take your miso broccoli from great to restaurant-level delicious:

• Toasted sesame seeds – nutty crunch

• Thinly sliced green onions – for a sharp, fresh bite

• Crushed roasted peanuts or cashews – salty and crunchy

• Lime zest or a quick squeeze of lime juice – brightness and acid

• Chili crisp or red pepper flakes – for heat and umami

• Drizzle of tahini or sriracha mayo – adds creaminess and contrast

• Pickled red onions – acidic and vibrant (especially if serving in a rice bowl)

Serving Ideas

• Add it to a grain bowl with rice, quinoa, or farro

• Pair it with teriyaki salmon, seared tofu, or grilled chicken

• Toss into a cold noodle salad

• Serve it over miso soup with soba noodles for a warming, filling meal

Final Notes & Tips

• Don’t overcrowd the pan—space between the florets helps them roast, not steam.

• Want extra caramelization? Crank the heat to 450°F for the last few minutes.

• Use dark miso for a deeper, earthier flavor—or try red miso for extra funk.

• This recipe is vegan and gluten-free friendly—just make sure your soy sauce or miso is GF if needed.

This Roasted Miso Broccoli hits that rare sweet spot: fast, flavorful, and just a little fancy. Whether you serve it on the side or let it take center stage in a bowl, it’s a dish that brings a ton of personality for very little effort.

Trust me—once you make this once, you’ll find yourself adding miso glaze to everything.

Ingredients

• 1 large head of broccoli, cut into medium florets
• 1 ½ tbsp white or yellow miso paste
• 1 tbsp olive oil or toasted sesame oil
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
• 1 tsp soy sauce
• 1 small clove garlic, minced or grated
• ½ tsp grated ginger (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment for easy cleanup.
2. Cut broccoli into medium-sized florets (try to keep them uniform for even roasting).
3. In a small bowl, whisk together miso paste, olive oil, rice vinegar, maple syrup, soy sauce, garlic, and (if using) ginger. It should be thick but pourable.
4. Toss the broccoli in the glaze until evenly coated. Spread out on the baking sheet, cut side down if possible.
5. Roast for 18–22 minutes, flipping halfway, until the edges are crispy and golden-brown, and the stems are tender.
6. Transfer to a plate or shallow bowl. Garnish with something fresh, crunchy, or creamy (ideas below!), and serve warm.
