Units Scale

Miso Roasted Vegetables

  • 1 large head (425-450 g) broccoli, chopped
  • 1 cup (120-150 g) baby carrots or 2 medium carrots, chopped (120-150 g)
  • 1 medium (78 g) yellow onion, sliced
  • 2 tbsp (36 g) white miso paste
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar

Soup

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 4 tbsp all purpose flour
  • 2 cup vegetable broth
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 cups dairy free half and half or canned coconut milk
  • 2 cups vegan cheese or 1/2 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • chili crisp croutons, for serving

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 400 F (200 C).
  2. Whisk together the miso paste and water. Whisk in the maple syrup, rice vinegar, oil. Toss broccoli, carrots and onions. 
  3. Bake for 15-17 minutes.
  4. Add the butter to a pot and cook the garlic for 2 minutes. Add the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes stirring constantly or until it becomes golden in colour. 
  5. Slowly pour in the broth, stirring as you pour. Add 2/3 of the vegetables back to the pot along with the paprika, salt and pepper. Note: I add in all the carrots and onions and reserve the broccoli just for a nicer colour and texture. 
  6. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes. 
  7. Stir in half and half. Use an immersion blender and blend to desired consistency.
