Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss 2 lbs cubed sweet potatoes and 1 large head of broccoli florets with 1 tsp sesame oil on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 2: Roast for 20 minutes, then flip the vegetables with tongs to ensure even browning.
Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp miso paste, 2 tbsp maple syrup, and 1 tbsp rice vinegar until smooth and well combined.
Step 4: Drizzle the miso glaze evenly over the roasted vegetables, using tongs to coat all pieces thoroughly.
Step 5: Return to the oven and roast for an additional 10-12 minutes until the glaze is bubbly and caramelized, and the sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
