Kyoto Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Nice caramelized roasty sweet potatoes with a rich, buttery gingery topping. From https://www.feastingathome.com/roasted-sweet-potatoes-with-miso/

• 2-3 sweet potatoes
• 1/4 c butter
• 1 large shallot, very finely diced (about 1/2 c)
• 2 t finely minced ginger
• 1 T miso
• 3 scallions, chopped

1. Halve and oil the sweet potatoes and roast at 425F, cut side down, for 30-40 minutes until tender. Flip and broil if they aren't caramelized enough.
2. Meanwhile gently sautee shallot in butter until golden, 5-6 minutes. Add the ginger for another 2-3 minutes. Mash in the miso and let the bits get slightly crispy, about two more minutes.
3. To serve, place roasted sweet potatoes with cut sides up and pierce them a few times. Pour over hot miso butter and top with salt and chopped scallions.
