Notes
White miso provides a milder sweetness, while yellow miso offers a deeper savory flavor.Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to encourage caramelization.For a vegan version, use maple syrup instead of honey.Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or drizzle with chili crisp for extra heat.These roasted sweet potatoes are excellent in grain bowls, salads, or alongside roasted proteins.Japanese sweet potatoes can be substituted for a firmer texture and nuttier flavor.
