Anything miso touches will make it infinitely more delicious and complex in flavor. You’ll love how this single ingredient amps up the flavor of these humble root vegetables.

4 servings

7 ingredients

20 min prep

Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/3 cup white miso paste
  • 2 cups medium turnip, diced
  • 2 cups medium kohlrabi, diced
  • 1 medium apple, diced
  • 1 small head of broccoli, cut into florets
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet pan with parchment paper and place on a center shelf in the oven while the oven heats up.
  2. In a large bowl, combine white miso paste, olive oil, and two tablespoons water. Add the turnip, kohlrabi, apple, and broccoli, and toss until coated. Take the heated baking sheet out of the oven. Tip the veggies onto the sheet and spread them out into a single layer.
  3. Roast vegetables in the oven for about 20 - 25 minutes (or until the vegetables are tender), turning after 10 -15 minutes. Remove vegetables from oven, plate, and serve immediately.

Chef Tips

The size of the veggies is important for uniform cooking, plus if you cut them in larger pieces you may need to let them roast longer (25-30 minutes).

If your broccoli has a lot of stem, don’t throw it out. The stem has as many, if not more, nutrients than the head, and is delicious roasted. Simply peel away the tough outer skin and dice the tender insides to match the size of the other veggies.

If you can’t find kohlrabi you can substitute diced radishes, potatoes, or increase the quantities of the other vegetables in the recipe.
