Roasted Miso Sweet Potatoes

Roasted miso sweet potatoes are a delightful blend of savory, sweet, and umami flavors. The sweet potatoes are coated in a rich miso glaze, balanced with maple syrup for sweetness and a hint of smoked paprika for depth. Roasting brings out the natural sweetness of the sweet potatoes while the miso adds a savory, umami punch, making this side dish both comforting and flavorful. Whether served with grains, proteins, or as a standalone dish, it’s a perfect addition to any meal.

Quick tip: Garnish with sesame seeds and fresh green onions for added texture and flavor.
