We love social media manager Mardi Miskit’s miso-tahini sauce so much we developed this recipe to go with it. It’s addictive as a dip or dressing but we’re especially fond of dragging these roasted potatoes through it. Start roasting the vegetables while you brown the chicken for a satisfying meal that comes together with little effort. Cook, relax, and enjoy!
What you’ll need:
1 large russet potato
1 small bunch carrots
4 boneless skinless chicken thighs
2 tablespoons tahini
1 tablespoon white miso
2 lemons
few sprigs flat leaf parsley
olive oil
coarse salt
freshly ground black pepper
Equipment: large skillet
rimmed baking sheet
Recipe steps:
-
Prepare vegetables
Preheat oven to 425°F. Slice potato ¼” thick. Peel carrots and cut crosswise into 3 inch pieces. Halve lengthwise if very thick. -
Roast vegetables
Toss potatoes and carrots with 2 tablespoons of olive oil on a rimmed baking sheet and season with salt and pepper. Roast 15 minutes while you brown the chicken. -
Brown chicken
Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Cook chicken until brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. -
Roast chicken and vegetables
Transfer chicken to sheet with vegetables and continue to roast until vegetables are tender and chicken is cooked through, 10–15 more minutes. -
Make miso-tahini sauce
Meanwhile, whisk tahini and miso in a small bowl. Halve lemons and squeeze 3 tablespoons lemon juice into bowl, whisking until smooth. Add 1 tablespoon water and whisk to combine. -
