Roasted Root Vegetables with Miso Glaze

Easy tender Roasted Root Vegetables with Miso Glaze are a healthy way to enjoy your veggies with a pop of Asian flavor!

Vibrant Roasted Root Vegetables with Miso Glaze

Our farmers markets are dwindling down for the season.

In just a few more weeks, the white pop-up tents I lovingly look forward to on the weekends will disappear for the cool months. Although the “winter market” is still open in city buildings here in Asheville, it’s just not the same.

However, in these last weekends of the farmers market, I find the most vibrant root vegetables imaginable.

Fall Roasted Root Vegetables with Miso Glaze

Saturday morning I got up early, threw on a sweatshirt and flip flops, and headed out the door to the farmers market… The flip flops weren’t the best idea I’ve ever had.

It was a crisp autumn morning, but the sun was shining and the tent tops were glistening like white beacons of hope.

As I perused table after table of fresh produce, I noticed something. All the root vegetables were really small but bold in color. To me, that is a telltale sign of deep saturated flavor.

I bought baby carrots, radishes, and small chioggia beets (striped beets). The root vegetables were so young and tender, I decided to leave the root-ends intact to keep their fresh gnarly appeal.

I cut the largest beets in half, then roasted the veggies until soft on the inside, yet crisp on the outside.

While the roasted root vegetables were sizzling in the oven, I made a quick miso glaze to drizzle over the veggies.

The salty-sweetness and punch of garlic in the miso glaze is the perfect complement to the earthy root vegetables. It helps bring the sweet carrots and beets together with the sharp spicy bite of roasted radishes.

We make a wide variety of roasted root vegetables each fall, but Roasted Root Vegetables with Miso Glaze is our new family favorite.

If your farmers markets are already closed for the season, or you want to make Roasted Root Vegetables with Miso Glaze all winter, look for small carrots, radishes, and beets in your local grocery store.

  3. The sauce was delicious – we tossed the extra with some soba noodles – but the roasting did not go very well. The miso paste burned and turned black before the vegetables were fully cooked, which left us with hard, black root vegetables.

    • @Ruben..I think what happened is that you mistakenly sauced the veggies before you roasted them. This sauce is actually used after the roasting and just prior to serving :) 

  4. Wow, that looks fantastic! I love radishes but I don’t think I’ve ever tried them roasted.

  5. I love the salty/sweet flavor combo and this would be gorgeous for Thanksgiving dinner!
