Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
Peel the sweet potato and cut it into 1-inch cubes.
~5 min - 3
In a mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with the neutral oil, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
~3 min - 4
Roast sweet potatoes for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned, flipping halfway through.
~25 min - 5
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the miso glaze. In a small saucepan, whisk together miso paste, mirin, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Heat gently over low heat, stirring constantly, until warmed through and well combined. Do not boil.
~5 min - 6
Once the sweet potatoes are roasted, add them to the saucepan with the miso glaze. Gently toss to coat each cube evenly. Return to the baking sheet for another 2-3 minutes to allow the glaze to set slightly.
~3 min - 7
Lightly toast the nori sheet over a low flame or in a dry pan until it becomes crisp. Crumble into small pieces.
~2 min - 8
Arrange the glazed sweet potato bites on a serving dish and sprinkle generously with the crumbled crispy nori.
~1 min
Tips
- For an extra crispy nori, briefly toast it just before crumbling. Store any leftover nori in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
- You can adjust the sweetness of the glaze by adding a touch more mirin or sweetness by adding a pinch of sugar. For a spicier kick, add a tiny bit of chili paste.
