Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into cubes. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and black pepper, then spread them out on a baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Roast the Sweet Potatoes

    Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are fork-tender and slightly caramelized.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Red Onion

    While the sweet potatoes are roasting, slice the red onion thinly. You can sauté them in a little olive oil until they become soft and translucent, or you can leave them raw for a sharper flavor.

  4. 4

    Make the Miso Tahini Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the miso paste, tahini, a splash of water, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more water if needed.

  5. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the sweet potatoes are done roasting, let them cool slightly. In a large bowl, combine the roasted sweet potatoes, red onion, walnuts, and fresh herbs. Drizzle with the miso tahini dressing and toss to coat.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious sweet potato dish!
