Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons white miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Pinch of fine sea salt
  • Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup toasted pepitas
  • Optional garnish: Fresh parsley or chives

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together white miso paste, maple syrup, olive oil, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper to make the glaze.
  4. Lay the sweet potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Brush a thin layer of the miso-maple glaze over each slice using a silicone brush or spoon.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Flip the rounds using a spatula, reapply glaze if needed, and roast for another 15 minutes until golden brown and slightly crispy.
  7. Sprinkle toasted pepitas over the rounds in the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  8. Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley or chives, and serve warm.

Notes

[‘Ensure sweet potato slices are in a single layer to avoid steaming.’, ‘For extra caramelized edges, broil the sweet potato rounds for 2-3 minutes at the end of baking.’, ‘Prepare the glaze and slice the sweet potatoes ahead of time to save time during cooking.’]
