    Ingredients

    • 1 small head of broccoli (about 300g), cut into florets
    • 250g Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved, reserve 3 for the slaw
    • 1 tbsp olive oil
    • 1 tbsp honey
    • 1 tbsp miso paste
    • 1 x 400g can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
    • 50g slivered almonds
    • 1 small carrot, grated
    • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
    • 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, leaves picked, some chopped

    Zingy dressing:

    • 1 tbsp honey
    • 2 tbsp lemon juice
    • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

    Optional garnish:

    • Fresh herbs like parsley or coriander

    Method

    1. Step 1

      Preheat the oven to 200°C.
    2. Step 2

      In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets, Brussels sprouts, olive oil, honey, miso paste and half the rosemary. Toss until the vegetables are evenly coated.
    3. Step 3

      Spread the coated vegetables on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and crispy. Leave to cool slightly once done.
    4. Step 4

      In the meantime, prepare the slaw by combining the beans, almonds, carrot, onion, finely slice Brussels sprouts and the rest of the fresh rosemary in a bowl.
    5. Step 5

      To make the dressing, whisk together the honey, lemon juice and Dijon mustard in a separate small bowl. Season to taste.
    6. Step 6

      Add the roasted vegetables to the slaw mixture and drizzle the dressing over the top. Toss gently to combine all the ingredients.
    7. Step 7

      Serve the slaw immediately as a side dish or as a light main course. Garnish with any fresh herbs

    Tips

    • If you don’t have miso paste, you can substitute it for reduced salt soy sauce or tamari and you will still get a similar umami flavour.
    • To save time, you can prep the vegetables ahead of time by washing, trimming, and cutting them. Store them in airtight containers in the refrigerator until ready to use.
    • Feel free to use any variety of beans you have handy instead of cannellini beans, such as chickpeas or kidney beans.
    • Nut free option - replace almonds with sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds.
    • This is a salad you can freeze! Double the recipe and freeze the leftovers for dinners or lunches. Just be sure to cool the dish completely before transferring it to freezer-safe containers. Defrost in the fridge and then warm in the oven.
