Total time: 50 min
Yield: Serves 4-6
Ingredients: 1 medium sweet potato, cut into 1-inch cubes; 2 medium carrots, peeled and cut diagonally into 1-inch pieces; 1 small cauliflower, cut into florets; 1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces; 1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced into 1-inch chunks; 1 red onion, cut into wedges; 3 tablespoons olive oil; 1 teaspoon salt; ½ teaspoon black pepper; 3 tablespoons tahini paste; 2 tablespoons white miso paste; 2 tablespoons rice vinegar; 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey; 2 tablespoons water; 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the vegetables

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and cut all vegetables as indicated. Make sure to cut the sweet potato, carrots, cauliflower, bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion into similarly sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
Season and arrange for roasting

Place all the prepared vegetables on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss to coat evenly. If needed, use two baking sheets to avoid overcrowding, which would cause the vegetables to steam instead of roast.
Roast the vegetables

Place the baking sheet(s) in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking time. The vegetables should be tender and caramelized at the edges when done.
Prepare the miso tahini sauce

While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the sauce. In a medium bowl, whisk together the tahini paste, white miso paste, rice vinegar, maple syrup or honey, and water until smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add additional water, one teaspoon at a time, until it reaches a pourable consistency.
Finish and serve

Once the vegetables are roasted, transfer them to a serving platter. Drizzle the miso tahini sauce over the vegetables, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds, and serve immediately. You can also serve the sauce on the side for dipping.
