Umami Brussel Sprouts

Sprouts are such a delicious vegetable at this time of year, best eaten after the first frost of the season. They are great simply steamed, but also lovely with bold flavours. You can throw these roasted umami sprouts into a stir fry, salad, lentil stew or serve as a simple side dish or snack. I used a fava bean umami paste made with British-grown fava beans, similar to miso and with a deep, rich flavour. You can sub for miso if preferred. You can also use the same method for salt and vinegar or chili and garlic sprouts or you can tempura the sprouts first for a twist and serve with the marinade as a dipping sauce. They may not look beautiful, but they are so tasty! #mycookbook
