Glazed Miso Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes never tasted this good: miso, maple, butter, and ginger create a side dish that’s bold, glossy, and impossible not to love.

📝 Ingredients

• 2 large sweet potatoes (peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil

• Thinly sliced scallions
• Toasted sesame seeds

2. 2Toss sweet potato cubes with oil, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
3. 3Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and tender.
4. 4While potatoes roast, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
5. 5Whisk in miso paste, maple syrup, soy sauce, ginger, and rice vinegar until smooth and slightly thickened (about 2–3 minutes). Set aside.
