Cooking Tools Required

Cutting board, Heavy duty rimmed baking sheet, Measuring cups and spoons, Oven, Sharp Knives

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoon miso paste red or white
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
  • 2 clove garlic chopped
  • 2 teaspoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 2 tablespoon green onion chopped
  • 2 pound boneless skinless chicken thigh
  • 2 tablespoon sesame seeds

Bake:

  • 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 each small sweet potato sliced
  • 1 bunch asparagus ends trimmed
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450° F.
  • In a square baking dish, mix the sesame oil, miso paste, tamari/soy sauce, ginger, garlic, honey, chili flakes, and green onions. Add the chicken and toss to fully coat. Sprinkle the chicken with sesame seeds. Bake 20 minutes, until cooked through. If desired, you can broil the chicken for 1-2 minutes to help it caramelize on top.
  • During the same time, rub a baking sheet with oil. Add the sweet potatoes and asparagus. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bake 15 minutes, toss and cook another 5 minutes until the potatoes are crisp.
Reheating Instructions
