– Vegan butter – Miso – Tahini – Lime – Toasted sesame oil, – Agave nectar – Red pepper flakes – Sea salt – Cilantro leaves – Lime Zest – Vegan furikake or gomasio

Ingredients

STEP 1

Wash or thoroughly scrub the Japanese sweet potatoes. I use a potato brush like this. Use a sharp knife to prick the potatoes all over. Transfer the potatoes to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, or directly onto your oven rack.

STEP 2

While the potatoes are baking, make the miso tahini butter. Soften the vegan butter at room temperature until you can mash it with a fork. Add the miso paste and butter to a medium or small bowl. Then add in the tahini.

STEP 3

Add the lime zest, toasted sesame oil, and agave nectar.  Squeeze in the lime juice and add crushed red pepper flakes.

STEP 4

Use a fork or whisk to mash all the ingredients until smooth. Slather the miso tahini butter inside the baked and sliced sweet potatoes.

STEP 5

Top with cilantro, toasted sesame seeds, lime zest, and a pinch of flaky salt.
