Description

Miso Butter Sweet Potatoes offer a delightful twist on roasted sweet potatoes by blending the umami-rich flavors of miso with creamy butter, enhanced by toasted sesame seeds and fresh scallions. This easy-to-make side dish features tender, golden-brown sweet potatoes with a savory-sweet glaze, perfect for warming up any meal.

Ingredients

Sweet Potatoes

  • 2-3 sweet potatoes, halved or cubed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
  • 1-2 tablespoons scallions, chopped small

Miso Butter

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon sweet white miso paste
  • 1/16 teaspoon ground ginger (a very small pinch)
  • Few turns cracked black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven. Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting the sweet potatoes.
  2. Prepare the miso butter. In a small bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter with sweet white miso paste, ground ginger, and cracked black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well blended. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the sweet potatoes. Wash and slice your sweet potatoes in half. Drizzle olive oil over them to ensure even roasting.
  4. Roast one side. Place the sweet potato halves cut side down on a baking tray. Roast for 28-30 minutes or until the side in contact with the tray turns golden brown.
  5. Flip and finish roasting. Turn the sweet potatoes over and roast for another 15-20 minutes until they are fork-tender and cooked through.
  6. Assemble and serve. Remove the roasted sweet potatoes from the oven. Top each piece with a dollop of miso butter, sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and chopped scallions on top. Serve warm and enjoy this flavorful side.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, allow the miso butter to soften a little before mixing for easier blending.
  • You can adjust the amount of miso paste to make it more or less salty and umami-tasting.
  • Use sweet white miso paste as it is milder and sweeter than darker varieties, which complements the sweet potatoes well.
  • Make sure the potatoes are fork-tender before removing from the oven to ensure the best texture.
  • Toast sesame seeds in a dry pan for a couple of minutes to bring out their nutty aroma before adding.
