A savory, comforting sheet-pan dinner featuring juicy miso-glazed chicken and tender, caramelized sweet potatoes. Rich in umami flavor, easy to prepare, and perfect for a hands-off, satisfying meal.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds chicken thighs or drumsticks
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons white or yellow miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or lemon juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together miso paste, soy sauce, honey or maple syrup, olive oil, vinegar or lemon juice, garlic, ginger, and black pepper until smooth.
  3. Add the chicken and sweet potatoes to the bowl and toss until evenly coated.
  4. Spread everything out on the prepared sheet pan, leaving space between the chicken pieces.
  5. Roast for 35–45 minutes, turning the sweet potatoes halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender and caramelized.
  6. Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • White or yellow miso provides a mild, slightly sweet flavor.
  • Add broccoli or red onion during the last 15 minutes for extra vegetables.
  • Finish with sesame seeds or sliced green onions for garnish.
  • Low-sodium soy sauce can be used to reduce saltiness.
