Ingredients 

Roasted Sweet Potatoes

  • 4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon coarse sea salt

Miso Glaze

  • 2 tablespoon miso
  • 3 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, grated
  • Garnish Options: black sesame seeds, chopped scallions, red pepper flakes, or chili crunch

Instructions

Roast the Sweet Potatoes.

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add the cubed sweet potatoes, drizzle olive oil, and sprinkle salt. Mix around the parchment paper, and the potatoes are coated.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through the baking. Potatoes will be tender and slightly golden on the edges. Make the miso glaze during this time.
  • Remove from oven and set aside.

Make the Miso Glaze.

  • While your potatoes are baking, in a large bowl, whisk together miso, rice vinegar, maple syrup, soy sauce, olive oil, and grated garlic. Set aside until potatoes are cooked.

Glaze the Sweet Potatoes.

  • Once the potatoes are cooked, pour the cooked potatoes into the large bowl with the miso glaze and mix to coat them well. Transfer back to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 5 minutes - this is optional but it really helps set the flavor in with the potatoes!

Serve.

  • Transfer the miso sweet potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with toasted sesame seeds, chopped scallions, red pepper flakes, or chili crunch. Serve them as a side dish with a quick tofu recipe, grain salads, or soups, or enjoy them on their own as a snack.
