Roasted Sweet Potatoes With Miso Orange And Sesame Recipes

MISO-SEARED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Toss the sweet potatoes with 2 tablespoons miso in a large bowl.
• In a cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat, melt enough coconut oil to coat the bottom, about 2 tablespoons. When the oil is hot, add the sweet potatoes and sear on one side until dark brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and repeat on the other side, cooking until tender, about 5 minutes more. Evenly spoon the remaining miso on top of each piece of potato and cook for 1 minute more. Serve immediately.
• Cook¿s Note: If you find that the potatoes are not cooked through, finish cooking them in the oven at 350 degrees F until tender, 5 to 10 minutes.

ROASTED SWEET POTATOES WITH MISO, ORANGE, AND SESAME

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork and bake until tender, 30 to 40 minutes. While they're baking, make the sauce. In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the orange juice, water, ginger, miso, soy sauce, garlic, and brown sugar. Cook until the sauce reduces and is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 15 minutes. Set aside.
• When the sweet potatoes are cool enough to touch, slice them in half lengthwise and lay them face up on a sheet pan. Spoon the sauce over the flesh of the potatoes, sprinkle with the sesame seeds, and broil until the sesame seeds are toasted.

ROASTED ORANGE MOLASSES SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 450°F. Generously butter a large (13- by 9- by 2-inch) shallow baking pan.
• Heat zest, juice, molasses, salt, and pepper in a small saucepan over moderate heat, stirring, until molasses is dissolved.
• Toss potatoes with molasses mixture in baking pan and arrange, cut sides down, in 1 layer. Bake, uncovered, turning over once (to other cut side), until tender and glazed, 25 to 30 minutes.

ROASTED SWEET POTATOES WITH SWEET MISO-SCALLION BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray.
• Brush cut sides of sweet potatoes with olive oil. Lay cut side-down onto the baking sheet. Brush skins with olive oil.
• Roast in the preheated oven until cooked through, about 35 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare miso-scallion butter. Warm coconut oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and ginger and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and add miso, pressing miso against the saucepan with the back of a spoon to soften. Add soy sauce, brown sugar, and scallion.
• Heat over low, stirring constantly, until sugar is completely melted and mixture is warmed through, about 3 minutes. Do not boil.
• Remove sweet potatoes from the oven and flip over. Cut a slit into the sweet potato flesh and spoon miso butter over the top.
