• 2 tablespoons Japanese black vinegar

• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Chopped fresh chives or green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato cubes, vegetable oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat the sweet potatoes evenly.
3. Roast the Sweet Potatoes
- Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast them in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Stir them once or twice during roasting for even cooking.
4. Prepare the Black Vinegar Glaze
- While the sweet potatoes are roasting, mix 2 tablespoons of Japanese black vinegar, 2 tablespoons of honey, and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce in a small bowl. Stir until well combined.
5. Glaze the Sweet Potatoes
- Once the sweet potatoes are done roasting, remove them from the oven. Drizzle the black vinegar glaze over the roasted sweet potatoes and gently toss to coat.
6. Garnish and Serve
- Transfer the Black Vinegar Glazed Sweet Potatoes to a serving dish. If desired, sprinkle chopped fresh chives or green onions over the top for added freshness and presentation.
