Recipe: Simple Roots with Miso

Autumn roots with their warm colors and sweet tastes are wonderfully strengthening, comforting foods. One cup of sliced daikon radish, for instance, supplies as much calcium as a cup of whole dairy milk. Carrots are rich in carotenoids which promote skin and eye health and rutabagas are high in zinc.

If you don’t already have a good sharp Japanese or European knife, treat yourself to one for easily slicing through sturdy roots. Have fun creating your own unique root dishes. Try the one below to get you started.

4-5 tsp olive oil

4-5 tsp South River Sweet Tasting Brown Rice or another of our light miso varieties
¼ cup mixed roasted nuts

Sautéed turnip greens and garlic accompany the root dish.
