Description
Sheet Pan Miso Chicken & Sweet Potatoes is a bold, flavorful one-pan dinner featuring crispy-skinned chicken thighs and caramelized sweet potatoes coated in a savory-sweet miso glaze. This easy, gluten-free weeknight meal delivers restaurant-quality results with minimal effort and cleanup.
Ingredients
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 2 lbs)
1 lb sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into ¾-inch pieces
2 small shallots, quartered
3 tablespoons white miso paste
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
3 cloves garlic, minced
1–2 teaspoons chili crisp (or 1 tablespoon sesame oil)
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon neutral oil, divided
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Extra chili crisp (optional, for serving)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Place a rimmed baking sheet inside to preheat.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together miso paste, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, chili crisp, and 1 tablespoon oil until smooth.
3. In a large bowl, toss sweet potatoes and shallots with half the miso mixture and a pinch of salt.
4. Carefully remove hot baking sheet from oven. Drizzle with remaining 1 teaspoon oil. Spread vegetables in an even layer.
5. Pat chicken thighs dry and season both sides generously with salt and pepper. Toss with remaining miso mixture until coated.
6. Arrange chicken skin-side up on the sheet pan with vegetables in a single layer.
7. Roast for 30-35 minutes, rotating pan halfway through, until chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature and sweet potatoes are tender and caramelized.
8. Optional: Turn on broiler and broil for 2-3 minutes until skin is extra crispy, watching closely.
9. Top with cilantro and extra chili crisp before serving.
Notes
Preheating the baking sheet helps vegetables caramelize faster and more evenly.
Pat chicken completely dry for crispiest skin.
Use bone-in, skin-on thighs for maximum juiciness; boneless thighs work but cook 5-10 minutes faster.
