Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In a bowl, mix miso paste, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, and salt until smooth; set aside.
  2. Step 2: Toss carrots and sweet potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper; spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Step 3: Rub chicken thighs with 2 tbsp of the miso glaze, ensuring even coating on all sides, then place on top of vegetables.
  4. Step 4: Bake for 25 minutes, then brush with remaining glaze and continue baking for 10-12 more minutes until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and glaze is bubbly and golden.
  5. Step 5: Check for doneness: chicken should be tender when pierced, and vegetables should be fork-tender with caramelized edges, while the glaze coats the chicken in a glossy, sticky finish.
