Ingredients
4 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed and cubed into 1-inch pieces
3 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
2 tbsp white miso paste
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
2 tbsp crushed smoked chicken strips (optional)
Fresh chives, chopped for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Dice the sweet potatoes into uniform 1-inch cubes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the butter, miso paste, maple syrup, ginger, and smoked paprika until smooth.
Place the potatoes in a large mixing bowl, add half the miso butter, and toss to coat evenly.
Spread potatoes in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Remove from the oven, brush with the remaining miso butter, and top with smoked chicken strips and chives.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer to restore crispiness. For a dairy-free version, substitute the butter with high-quality avocado or coconut oil.
