Here is a recipe that’s going to light up your dinner table with its vibrant colors and flavors.

This Roasted Broccoli With Mashed Miso Sweet Potatoes is the perfect dish if you’re in the mood for something comforting, hearty and nutritious which is why it’s a personal favorite. I love cooking with miso as it brings an undeniable savory, umami flavor to any dish and is often the secret ingredient in restaurant favorites! 

Ingredients for Your Roasted Broccoli with Mashed Miso Sweet Potatoes

  • broccoli
  • chickpeas
  • garlic powder
  • paprika
  • vegan parmesan or nutritional yeast
  • sweet potato
  • full-fat coconut milk
  • maple syrup
  • miso paste
  • pumpkin seeds
  • hemp seeds
  • microgreens

What is Miso and why is it so popular?

Miso, the ingredient that brings it all together in this recipe. Miso is a traditional Japanese seasoning produced by fermenting soybeans with salt and koji, often mixed with other ingredients like rice or barley. This fermentation process gives miso its unique savory, umami-rich flavor, which is often described as the fifth taste. What makes miso so great is that it can be used with virtually everything and can take a seemingly ordinary dish and make it complex. In this recipe, miso infuses the sweet potatoes with a rich, umami-packed sweetness that balances perfectly with their natural flavor.

The perfect spice blend

The combination of garlic powder, paprika, and vegan parmesan creates the perfect pallet for the broccoli and chickpeas. When roasted, these spices meld together, creating caramelized, crispy edges on the broccoli and chickpeas that are irresistible.

Toppings that bring it all together!

The beauty of this dish is in its balance and contrast of textures. The roasted broccoli and chickpeas bring a crispy texture and savory flavor, the mashed miso sweet potatoes offer a smooth, creamy, sweetness, and when you top it all off with pumpkin and hemp seeds you create a very satisfying crunch. Microgreens make it not only pretty and fresh; they also provide a bit of a peppery note and a burst of nutrients.

I could go on and on about why I love this dish; it’s easy to make, always delicious and can be eaten alone or alongside other dishes! Perfection to me! Happy roasting 🙂

    Love this recipe! My sister was here and she said « you can make this recipe anytime ».
    Easy to make and beautiful presentation. Will have it on repeat.

    1. Sister approved might be the best feeling ever! So glad that you both enjoyed this recipe and will be making it again, it truly is a winner 🙂 I appreciate the rating and review!

    This was so delicious with the different textures of chickpeas, broccoli and creamy sweet potatoes!I love coconut and sweet potatoes together. It is on rotation at my house as one of my favorite meals!
    Thank you!

    1. Hi Alice, I don’t know how much a big sweet potato weighs uncooked I just went with one that felt relatively large in comparison to the others – this will be at your own discretion, if you don’t feel that you chose one big enough you can use three small or two medium. If you have too much sweet potato it’s never a bad thing! I hope you enjoy this recipe

    Can this be made ahead? I just made it and it as delish but wondering your opinion on best way to make ahead.

    1. Hey Jodi, you can make this ahead! It can be pre-portioned out in individual containers ready to reheat, or you can keep each prepared ingredient separate until you’re ready to serve.

    1. Hey Jen, Any thicker plant based milk should work as a suitable substitute however the flavor will change slightly. I might suggest soy as it is thicker than many other plant based milks. Let me know how it goes!

    Such a weeknight winner. I had beautiful broccolini and sweet potatoes from the farmers market and this dish showed them off perfectly. The miso sweet potatoes are such a game changer. They may find themselves starring as a Thanksgiving side dish. This recipe is headed into the rotation!

    Absolutely delicious and bonus points for being very easy to make!!
    The whole (non-vegan) family loved it.
    I boiled the sweet potato cubes instead of microwave, and tossed the veg + chickpeas in a little bit of olive oil before roasting.
    Will definitely save to make again in the future!

  10. 5 stars
    This was amazing, and the sweet potato puree was over-the-top delicious. Not sure I can eat sweet potatoes any other way…
