Instructions
Instructions
- Prepare Vegetables: Start by washing and peeling the carrots. Chop all the vegetables into similar sizes—this ensures they cook evenly. Aim for bite-sized pieces to keep things easy!
- Make Miso Dressing: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the miso paste, soy sauce, tahini, olive oil, minced garlic, and a splash of water. Season with salt and pepper until it’s just right for your taste.
- Toss Veggies: Place all the chopped vegetables into a large mixing bowl. Pour the delicious miso dressing over them and gently toss until each piece is very well-coated, creating that flavor harmony!
- Roast Vegetables: Spread the veggies out in a single layer on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (204°C) for about 35-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they’re golden brown and tender with crispy edges.
- Serve: Once they’re ready, serve the Miso Roasted Vegetables warm as a scrumptious side dish, or pack them up for meal prepping throughout the week!
Notes
Optional: Serve with a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added crunch and flavor. For best results, space out vegetables on the sheet pan to achieve crispy edges.
