Ingredients
4 medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed and cubed
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons white miso paste
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 green onions, thinly sliced
2 strips crispy turkey bacon, crumbled
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place cubed sweet potatoes in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and toss to coat evenly.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway, until golden and tender.
While roasting, whisk together softened butter, miso paste, maple syrup, and ginger in a small bowl until smooth.
Remove potatoes from the oven and immediately toss with the miso butter mixture while hot.
Garnish with sliced green onions and crumbled turkey bacon before serving.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer to maintain crispness. If white miso is unavailable, yellow miso can be substituted for a bolder flavor. To ensure extra crispy edges, arrange potatoes in a single layer without overcrowding the baking sheet.
