Miso Glazed Sweet Potatoes

Name: Miso Glazed Sweet Potatoes
Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 25 min
Total time: 45 min
Cuisine: Asian, Japanese
Ingredients: 6 cups (800g) chopped sweet potatoes (3/4 inch size bites); 1/4 cup (80g) miso (I used red) SEE NOTE; 3 tablespoons (60g) Agave*; 2 teaspoons (10g) low-sodium soy sauce; 2 teaspoons (12g) lemon juice; 1 1/2 teaspoons (10g) chili pepper paste (Found next to the tomato paste. Use 2 teaspoons for a really spicy kick.) SEE NOTE below for sub; 1 teaspoon (4g) toasted sesame seeds, plus extra for garnish; 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger powder; 3 tablespoons (45g) water; Red miso is saltier than white miso so if using white, taste the sauce after mixing and if needed, increase the soy sauce from 2 teaspoons up to 4; I used agave because it has a neutral sweet taste and I didn't want a maple flavor. However, if you avoid agave, feel free to use maple syrup. It's not as thick, sticky or sweet as agave, but should work

These Miso Glazed Sweet Potatoes are inspired by the True Food Ancient Grains bowl. These are easy to make, are sweet, salty, tangy and with a kick of heat. Bonus that my version is oil-free!
