Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss 2 cups broccoli florets and 2 medium cubed sweet potatoes with 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and a pinch of salt on a sheet pan. Roast for 20 minutes until edges are crispy and tender.
  2. Step 2: In a bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp white miso paste, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp grated ginger, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 2 minced garlic cloves until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Pat 1.5 lb chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Rub with 1/2 tbsp sesame oil, then coat evenly in the miso mixture. Place on a separate sheet pan.
  4. Step 4: Bake chicken at 425°F (220°C) for 22-25 minutes until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), basting once with pan juices.
  5. Step 5: Let chicken rest for 5 minutes. Serve over roasted sweet potatoes and broccoli, drizzling with any remaining pan sauce.
