Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds), peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch-thick coins
4 tablespoons instant white miso or miso paste slightly thinned with water
Coconut oil, for cooking

Steps:

Toss the sweet potatoes with 2 tablespoons miso in a large bowl.
In a cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat, melt enough coconut oil to coat the bottom, about 2 tablespoons. When the oil is hot, add the sweet potatoes and sear on one side until dark brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and repeat on the other side, cooking until tender, about 5 minutes more. Evenly spoon the remaining miso on top of each piece of potato and cook for 1 minute more. Serve immediately.
Cook¿s Note: If you find that the potatoes are not cooked through, finish cooking them in the oven at 350 degrees F until tender, 5 to 10 minutes.
