Miso Glaze
  • 2 tbsp white miso paste
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a baking pan.
  2. Arrange sweet potato rounds in a single layer and brush with melted butter. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  3. Roast for 25 minutes, then flip each round.
  4. Whisk miso paste, maple syrup, soy sauce, melted butter, garlic, and rice vinegar to make the glaze.
  5. Brush glaze generously over sweet potatoes.
  6. Roast another 20–25 minutes, basting halfway through, until caramelized and meltingly soft.

  8. Garnish with sesame seeds and scallions before serving.

Notes

For extra caramelization, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end. Add chili flakes for a spicy version.
