There’s a funny story behind this recipe.
A few months ago (pre-pandemic) I was itching to experiment with miso paste, but couldn’t find it at my local grocery store. I headed over to Amazon, dropped a couple in my shopping cart and forgot about them until they showed up at my door a few days later. When I opened the package, I was surprised to see 2 jumbo-sized bags of miso paste staring back at me. I’m talking two industrial-sized, 2 lb. bags. They were huge. It appeared that in all my Amazon Prime ordering excitement, I neglected to check sizing.
I wish I could say that was the first time that happened to me, but I cannot.
Luckily, with 6 month expiration dates, I have plenty of time to experiment. A hard job, I know, but I like a challenge.
In my recent recipe testing with this ingredient, I’ve stumbled upon several keepers, with this miso roasted cauliflower being one of my favorite discoveries.

I’m glad you liked it, Jessica! Thank you for your review!
This was very tasty and easy! I definitely see what you mean about not crowding the roasting pan. That made a huge difference in quality. I love miso–glad to have a way to use it!
