Ingredients

4 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 medium sweet potatoes (about 3/4 lb), cut into fourths or sixths
1 medium red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1 package (20 oz) boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 tablespoon white miso paste
1 tablespoon real maple syrup
1/4 cup sliced green onions
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Lime wedges

Steps

1

Heat oven to 425°F. Spray 18x13x1-inch pan with cooking spray. In large bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of the melted butter, 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce and the pepper flakes. Add sweet potatoes and bell pepper; toss to coat. Transfer to pan in single layer. Do not clean bowl. Mix remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter and 1 tablespoon soy sauce in bowl; add chicken, and toss to coat. Add chicken to pan with vegetables. Roast 20 minutes.
2

In small bowl, mix miso and maple syrup; brush over tops of chicken; continue to roast 10 to 15 minutes or until juice of chicken is clear when thickest part is cut (at least 165°F) and potatoes are fork-tender.
3

Spoon pan juices over chicken. Top with green onions and cilantro; serve with lime wedges.

Expert Tips

tip 1
Maple and miso might sound like a strange combination, but the two flavors actually play really well together. Maple is subtle and relaxed, letting miso maintain its alpha status. While plain sweeteners will temper miso just fine, maple eases into the miso flavor profile and works like a secret weapon, adding laid-back sweetness without taking over.
