Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss carrots and sweet potatoes in a large bowl with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper until evenly coated.
Step 2: Spread vegetables in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes, stirring once halfway, until edges are caramelized and tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 3: While vegetables roast, whisk together maple syrup, miso paste, sesame oil, and 1 tbsp water in a small bowl until smooth. Remove vegetables from oven, drizzle with miso glaze, and toss gently to coat. Sprinkle with thyme and return to oven for 5 minutes until glaze is bubbly and set.
Step 4: Transfer to a serving dish and let rest for 3 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
