Why We Love These Roasted Root Vegetables with Miso Glaze

When fall rolls around the farmer’s markets start to sell vibrant root vegetables, you will definitely want to take advantage and make some flavorful roasted veggies!

This time, 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 vegetables each fall, but Roasted Root Vegetables with Miso Glaze is our new family favorite.

If your farmer’s 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.

Sometimes you can find fun varieties of root vegetables to make your Roasted Root Vegetables with Miso Glaze extra visually appealing!

ingredients for roasted vegetables with miso glaze

Ingredients Needed

  • Baby Carrots – any kind of carrot works great
  • Radishes – small and colorful radishes
  • Beets – or any other root vegetable such as parsnips or sweet potatoes
  • Olive Oil – to coat the veggies
  • Butter – to start the glaze
  • Garlic – freshly minced
  • White Miso Paste – you can get miso at most supermarkets or Asian specialty stores have a great selection too!
  • Mirin – this is a slightly sweet Japanese rice wine that is made for cooking. I recommend having it on hand for a bunch of different Asian-inspired recipes! If you don’t have it on hand, you can use rice vinegar and a pinch of sugar instead.

How to Make Roasted Root Vegetables

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Wash and trim the vegetables and cut the biggest beets in half. Spread the vegetables out on a rimmed baking sheet, lined with parchment paper for easy clean up if you prefer. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper, liberally. Toss to coat.

Roast the vegetables in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes, until tender on the inside, but crisp on the outside.

Meanwhile, place the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Once the butter melts, add the garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Then pour in the mirin and water, and whisk in the miso paste. Bring to a boil, and simmer for 1-2 minutes. Then turn off the heat.

When ready to serve, place the hot crispy vegetables on a platter or bowl and drizzle the miso glaze over the top. Then sprinkle with green onions and serve!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is miso?

Miso is a paste made from fermented soybeans, which is used in Japanese cooking. It is salty and is known for its deeply savory umami flavor.

Is miso vegetarian and gluten-free?

Yes! Since miso is made from soybeans and sometimes another grain like rice or barley, miso is generally gluten-free and almost always vegetarian and vegan!

What do root vegetables with a miso glaze taste like?

Root vegetables are earthy and slightly sweet once roasted, so they go really well with a tangy and umami-packed miso glaze. Miso has a salty and deep flavor, so it balances the sweetness of the vegetables and adds so much flavor!

How do I ensure all the vegetables are done at the same time?

Whenever you are cooking a medley of vegetables, it is important that every piece is about the same size. Chop up your veggies into uniform sizes to ensure they are all tender at the same time!

How should I store leftover roasted root vegetables?

Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days! Simply reheat in the microwave until heated through.
