Ingredients

  • 2 large Japanese sweet potatoes (or 4 medium), chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp white miso paste
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • Salt, to taste

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

  2. 2

    Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat

  3. 3

    Spread Japanese sweet potatoes out on baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil and a sprinkling of salt.

  4. 4

    Roast in oven for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through. Sweet potatoes are ready when the skin is crispy but they are fork tender on the inside.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile in a medium bowl combine miso paste and tahini. Add water 1 tbsp at a time to thin out sauce, if necessary. Add salt to taste (I personally find the miso adds enough saltiness but feel free to add more)

  6. 6

    Remove Japanese sweet potatoes from oven and drizzle with miso-tahini sauce.

  7. 7

    Serve immediately or store in fridge for up to 3 days.
