Instructions
- 1
Wash and peel the sweet potato. Slice it into approximately 1/2 inch thick rounds.
~5 min - 2
Toast the sweet potato slices in a toaster on a medium setting until tender but not mushy. This may take a few cycles depending on your toaster.
~8 min - 3
While the sweet potato is toasting, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter.
- 4
Whisk in the white miso paste, maple syrup, and water until well combined and the glaze is smooth.
~2 min - 5
Simmer the glaze gently for about 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until it slightly thickens.
~3 min - 6
Arrange the toasted sweet potato slices on a serving plate.
~1 min - 7
Spoon the warm miso-caramel glaze generously over each sweet potato toast.
~1 min - 8
Garnish with sesame seeds, if desired, and serve immediately.
Tips
- Ensure your sweet potato slices are evenly thick for consistent toasting. If your toaster can't handle the thickness, you can also bake them in an oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway.
- The miso-caramel glaze can be made ahead and gently reheated before serving. Adjust the maple syrup to your sweetness preference.
