Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 375 F. Grab 1 or 2 large baking trays and lightly coat with olive oil.
- 2
In a small pot, bring water to a boil and season with a pinch of salt.
- 3
Add the quinoa and give it a quick stir. Cover with a lid, reduce to a simmer, and cook for about 20 minutes. When finished, remove from the heat and take off the lid. This helps to evaporate any remaining moisture.
- 4
While the quinoa is cooking, prepare the brussels sprouts.
- 5
Trim the ends off leaving the whole sprout intact (it’s ok to lose a couple of leaves). Slice them in half.
- 6
Add the sprouts to a large bowl and coat with olive oil. Toss with with salt and pepper. Arrange them on the baking tray in 1 single layer, cut side down.
- 7
Roast for about 30 minutes, flipping them with tongs about halfway through cooking. Only turn them when the underside is nice and golden brown.
- 8
While the sprouts are roasting, make the miso dressing.
- 9
Blitz all of the ingredients together in a mini food processor or blender until well combined. Add additional water if it seems too thick.

To serve, spoon the brussels sprouts onto a large platter or bowl. Add the quinoa and cranberries, and toss gently to combine. Give it a taste and season with extra salt and pepper if necessary.
