1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons white miso paste

Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Toss the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
3. Spread the sweet potatoes on the baking sheet in a single layer.
4. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and caramelized.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together the miso paste, maple syrup, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and warm water until smooth.
6. Transfer the hot roasted sweet potatoes to a bowl and gently toss with the miso glaze.
7. Divide the brown rice and quinoa between serving bowls.
8. Arrange the glazed sweet potatoes, red cabbage, cucumber, avocado, and edamame over the grains.
9. Top with green onions, sesame seeds, and chopped cilantro.
10. Serve immediately, or store the components separately and assemble later.
Notes
Roast the sweet potatoes in a single layer so they caramelize instead of steam.
Use white miso for the smoothest and mildest flavor in the glaze.
Add the avocado just before serving to keep it fresh and vibrant.
