Tender, caramelized sweet potatoes with a nutty brown butter glaze, kissed with the savory umami of miso and a hint of maple sweetness. Perfect for cozy autumn evenings or holiday gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (or vegan butter)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon white miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Optional: chopped fresh parsley or sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Slice them into rounds about ΒΌ inch thick.
  3. Arrange the slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss lightly to coat all sides.
  4. Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 20 minutes. Flip the rounds and roast for an additional 10–15 minutes, or until golden brown and tender.
  5. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir continuously until the butter turns golden and smells nutty (about 3–5 minutes). Remove from heat and whisk in the miso paste and maple syrup until smooth.
  6. Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and brush each round generously with the brown butter maple miso glaze.
  7. Optional: Place the glazed sweet potatoes under the broiler for 2–3 minutes for a caramelized finish. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  8. Transfer the sweet potato rounds to a serving platter and sprinkle with parsley or sesame seeds for garnish. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

[‘Don’t overcrowd the pan to ensure even roasting and crispy edges.’, ‘Keep an eye on the brown butter as it can burn quickly.’, ‘Use room temperature miso paste to avoid clumping when mixing into the brown butter.’, ‘Adjust sweetness by reducing maple syrup or adding a splash of rice vinegar.’]
