Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare Sweet Potatoes

    Wash and peel the Japanese sweet potatoes, then cut them into 1-inch cubes.

  3. 3

    Prepare Poblano

    Wash the poblano pepper, remove the seeds, and chop it into small pieces.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Roast Sweet Potatoes

    Spread the cubed sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and drizzle with sesame oil. Toss to coat evenly. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned.

  2. 5

    Make Miso Glaze

    In a small bowl, combine miso paste and honey. Mix until smooth and well combined.

  3. 6

    Add Poblano

    During the last 10 minutes of roasting, add the chopped poblano pepper to the baking sheet with sweet potatoes.

  4. 7

    Glaze and Finish

    Remove the sweet potatoes and poblano from the oven and drizzle the miso glaze over them. Toss gently to coat. Return to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes.

  5. 8

    Serve

    Once done, sprinkle sesame seeds on top for garnish and serve warm.
