Miso-Maple Sweet Potato Tacos
Ingredients
Sweet Potato Filling
2 tablespoons miso paste
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons rice wine
vinegar
2 medium sweet potatoes,
unpeeled and chopped
into small cubes
1 small red onion, chopped
Olive oil
Taco Fixings
Corn tortillas, 2 to 3 per person
Avocado, sliced
Sprouts
Cilantro
Chopped scallions
Toasted pumpkin seeds
Directions
Heat oven to 400° F. Whisk the miso paste, maple syrup and vinegar together in a small bowl. Spread sweet potatoes and onions in a single layer on a baking sheet. Drizzle with a little olive oil, and then liberally brush the glaze over the vegetables. Bake in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes. The time will vary depending on the heat of your oven and the size of your sweet potato cubes. The onions will likely be done first so be sure to watch and take them out when they’ve lightly browned. When the sweet potatoes are finished, remove from the oven, taste and add another brushing of glaze if you wish. Serve on warm corn tortillas. And be sure to enjoy with cilantro coconut sauce (we’re obsessed).
