Ingredients
Scale
- 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
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat
- Spread Japanese sweet potatoes out on baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil and a sprinkling of salt.
- 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.
- 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)
- Remove Japanese sweet potatoes from oven and drizzle with miso-tahini sauce.
- Serve immediately or store in fridge for up to 3 days.
