It's a wonderful thing to treat vegetables in such a way that you don’t feel like you're lacking the ‘meat’ part of the dish. This miso roasted vegetables recipe is just that, with the rich umami hit of miso and caramel sweetness from the honey. Serve this with rice and cucumber (and a little bit of kewpie for dipping) or as a side to something like baked salmon or a honey soy chicken.
