Ingredients

  • 1 lb sweet potato I used baby sweet potatoes in this recipe, but you can use regular sweet potatoes.
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 2 TBSP white miso paste
  • 1 TBSP pure/raw honey
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds

For garnish.

  • A drizzle of sesame oil
  • Thinly sliced scallions

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400º F.
  • If you're using baby sweet potatoes, cut them in half lengthwise. If you're using regular sweet potatoes, cube them into bite-size pieces or slice them into 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick rounds.
  • Place the sweet potatoes into a large mixing bowl; set aside.In another bowl, whisk together the olive oil, miso paste, honey, rice vinegar, and soy sauce. Drizzle over the sweet potatoes, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and toss until coated.
  • Place a sheet of tin foil over a baking sheet (optional, but less mess!) and transfer the sweet potatoes to the baking sheet.
  • Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until fork tender.
  • Drizzle with a bit of sesame oil, garnish with sliced scallions, and serve.

Notes

You can use yellow or red miso paste for this recipe, but the flavors will be stronger and more pungent.
