Ingredients
  

Miso Glazed Sweet Potatoes
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 2 tbsp white miso paste
  • 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
For the Bowl
  • 1.5 cups cooked quinoa
  • 1 cup shelled edamame cooked
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds for garnish
  • 2 tbsp green onions chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 Baking Sheet
  • 1 Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the cubed sweet potatoes on a large baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes.
  2. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, whisk together the white miso paste, soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a small bowl until smooth.
  3. Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven, drizzle with the miso glaze, and toss to coat evenly. Return to the oven and roast for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until tender and caramelized.
  4. Assemble the bowls by dividing the cooked quinoa between two bowls. Top with the miso-glazed sweet potatoes, edamame, and sliced avocado.
  5. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.

Notes

Storage: Store components in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Customization: Add grilled chicken, baked tofu, or roasted broccoli for extra protein and nutrients.
Tip: Don't slice the avocado until just before serving to prevent browning.
