Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C.
  2. Scrub and halve the sweet potatoes lengthways. Rub the skins with ½ tsp sesame oil and lay, cut-side down, on a lined baking tray. Roast for 20-25 mins until tender and soft.
  3. Meanwhile, mix the miso paste, soy sauce, mirin and maple syrup.
  4. Remove the potatoes from the oven and preheat the grill to medium-high. Turn the potatoes over and score the inside of the flesh with a deep criss-cross pattern, not cutting down to the skin. Brush over the miso glaze and grill for 8-10 mins until the tops are caramelised. Top the sweet potatoes with the remaining sesame oil, spring onions and toasted sesame seeds.
