Sweet Potatoes with Miso Tahini Butter

Sweet Potatoes with Miso Tahini Butter

Vibrantly colored and true to their name, sweet potatoes are nature’s candy. Their natural sweetness is complemented with a deeply nutty and umami miso tahini sauce. Sesame adds a bit of crunch to this simple side dish, snack, or on-the-go meal.

All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwaves and home kitchens to make sure they work — and work well.

Select your microwave wattage in the dropdown. The cook times in this recipe will automatically change accordingly.

To find your microwave’s wattage, look at the front panel, the side of the door, in the back, in the user manual, or Google the model number. If both an input and output wattage are listed, use the output.

Wattage translates to how powerful the microwave is. The higher the wattage, the faster your food will cook. The lower the wattage, the longer the cook time.

When in doubt, start with less time — you can always add more.

Ingredients

  • 1 (340g) medium sweet potatoes, skin on
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon miso paste
  • 2 teaspoons tahini
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Preparation

  1. Prick sweet potatoes all over with a fork, and place in the Anyday dish. If too thick, cut in half lengthwise (like a baked potato). Cover with the lid (knob lifted).
  2. Cook in the microwave for 8-9 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the butter, miso, and tahini until well incorporated. It’s easiest to do this when the butter is very soft at room temperature!
  4. Remove the sweet potatoes, cut partially in half lengthwise, and add a spoonful of miso tahini butter in the center. Garnish with sesame seeds and serve.

Serving suggestions & tips

  • Use yellow sweet potato for a fluffier, sweet variation. 
  • Try substituting tahini with cashew butter.
