Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes

    Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into cubes. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Miso Brown Butter

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Continue cooking until it turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and whisk in the miso paste until smooth.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Maple-Chile Gastrique

    In a small saucepan, combine maple syrup and red chili flakes. Simmer over low heat for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Fry the Sage

    In a skillet, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add the fresh sage leaves and fry until crispy, about 1-2 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    In a large bowl, toss the boiled sweet potatoes with the miso brown butter. Drizzle the maple-chile gastrique over the top, sprinkle with fried sage and sliced almonds. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
