Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: Fusion
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 cups sweet potatoes, cubed
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 3 tablespoons miso paste
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Wash and prepare all vegetables: Cut broccoli into bite-sized florets, cube sweet potatoes into 1-inch pieces, slice red bell pepper into thin strips, and slice zucchini into half-moon shapes.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together miso paste, maple syrup, olive oil, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined to create the dressing.
- Place all prepared vegetables onto the sheet pan, spreading them in a single layer to ensure even roasting. Drizzle half of the miso maple dressing over the vegetables, tossing gently to coat evenly.
- Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring once halfway through cooking time to ensure even caramelization and prevent burning.
- Remove the sheet pan from the oven when vegetables are tender and have golden-brown edges. The sweet potatoes should be fork-tender, and broccoli should have crispy, slightly charred tips.
- Drizzle the remaining miso maple dressing over the roasted vegetables just before serving to enhance the flavor and add a glossy finish.
- Serve hot directly from the sheet pan, optionally garnishing with fresh herbs like chopped parsley or green onions for added freshness.
Tips
- Vegetable Size Matters: Cut all vegetables into similar-sized pieces to ensure even roasting and consistent cooking.
- Don't Overcrowd: Give your veggies breathing room on the sheet pan. Overcrowding leads to steaming instead of caramelizing.
- High Heat is Key: The 425°F temperature is crucial for achieving those delicious crispy edges and caramelized surfaces.
- Dressing Distribution: Reserve some dressing for post-roasting to add a fresh, vibrant flavor punch just before serving.
- Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to swap in seasonal vegetables or whatever you have in your fridge. This recipe is incredibly flexible!
- For Extra Protein: Consider adding cubed tofu or chickpeas to make this a complete meal.
- Parchment Paper Hack: Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and preventing sticking.
