Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 400 F (200 C).
- Whisk together the miso paste and water. Whisk in the maple syrup, rice vinegar, oil. Toss broccoli, carrots and onions.
- Bake for 15-17 minutes.
- 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.
- 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.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes.
