Still looking for a last minute side dish for your Thanksgiving dinner? Look no further than this sweet and savory Roasted Miso Mushroom & Sweet Potato recipe.
Awhile back my wife and I discovered a restaurant around us called Urban Plates. They have fresh sautéed and roasted side dishes, salads, soups and pastured meats. The food is delicious, but one side dish stuck out to me that they made that was absolutely delicious: Miso Mushroom Sweet Potato Sauté. I looked everywhere online to find their recipe or ingredients but I couldn’t find anything concrete. So I checked out this recipe and this recipe for some guidelines on cooking with miso, so that I didn’t add to much.
If you’re wondering if miso is Paleo or Primal, rest assured that even though it’s soy – it’s fermented soy – which changes things a bit. When soy is fermented it goes from harmful to less harmful/beneficial for your body. Read more about the benefits of fermented soy here and here.

Thank you for this recipe! It’s one of my favorite Urban Plates dishes but tonight one of the servers told us they weren’t going to make it anymore. I’m so grateful I won’t have to do without.
Why would they not make this side anymore?! It’s so good!
The Urban Plates dish has red onions… doesn’t it? How much of that would you add to this recipe?
Oh you’re right it does have red onions! I should totally add that in the recipe. I’d say start off with half a red onion diced. I’ll try out that quantity too and update the recipe. Thanks!
