Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2
In a measuring cup or small bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, maple syrup, soy sauce, and seasoned rice vinegar to create the glaze.
3
Place the chicken thighs and diced sweet potatoes on a large, parchment-lined baking sheet.
4
Pour the miso-maple glaze over the chicken thighs and use tongs to toss and ensure they are evenly coated.
5
Drizzle the sweet potatoes with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat.
6
Arrange the chicken and sweet potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet and place in the preheated oven.
7
Bake for 30 minutes total, flipping the chicken and tossing the sweet potatoes halfway through at the 15-minute mark.
8
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the pan. Toss the roasted sweet potatoes in the pan drippings to coat them in the flavorful glaze.
9
Slice the chicken and serve immediately with the glazed sweet potatoes and a side of mixed greens, if desired.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Pat chicken thighs dry before glazing to encourage browning and caramelization of the miso-maple mixture.
Cut sweet potatoes into similarly sized chunks so they roast evenly and finish at the same time as the chicken.
Reserve any pan drippings after roasting—they're thick, glossy, and perfect for spooning over the finished dish or serving greens.
Don't stir the pan mid-roast; let the glaze set and caramelize on the chicken and potatoes for maximum flavor.

Substitutions

White miso paste → red miso (slightly deeper, saltier flavor; use 2.5 tbsp instead of 3 tbsp)
Maple syrup → honey or agave nectar (works 1:1, though honey caramelizes faster)
Sweet potatoes → regular potatoes or carrots (adjust roasting time if needed; carrots may cook faster)

Storage & make-ahead

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a 350°F oven for 10–12 minutes, or microwave covered with a damp paper towel.

Common Questions

Can I use chicken breasts instead of thighs?

Yes, but thighs stay moister and more flavorful. If using breasts, reduce roasting time by 5–8 minutes and check internal temp reaches 165°F to avoid drying out.
