Roasted Miso Potatoes

I’m sure you’ve had roasted potatoes with rosemary or parmesan, but have you ever had it with miso paste? I’m literally obsessed over this sauce and will drizzle it over anything and everything. It’s spicy, tangy, and sweet--all at the same time! 

Miso is a Japanese paste made from fermented soybeans, which brings a deep umami flavor to dishes thanks to its aromatic and rich complexities. There are typically three types of miso: white, yellow, and red. The darker the color, the longer it has been fermenting and, therefore, deeper the flavor. White miso is sweet and mild, perfect for dressings and marinades.  

This recipe takes nearly forty minutes to prepare, but you’re really just spending most of that time waiting for the sweet potatoes to cook. Your oven might be different than mine, so keep watch around the thirty-minute mark, so you don’t overcook your potatoes.
