532. Miso oats + roasted strawberries


Ingredients
Pepper Jelly Roasted Strawberries
- 8 strawberries, cut in half length-wise
- 1/2 tbs blackberry pepper jelly (feel free to substitute whatever you have on hand. Balsamic vinegar, sugar, and red pepper flakes work wonderfully in this recipe).
Miso Oats
- 1/2 rolled oats (not instant)
- 1 cup water
- 1 tbs plus 1/2 tbs white miso paste
Directions
First preheat your oven to 350°F. Add strawberries and blackberry pepper jelly to a bowl and gently toss until coated. Scatter strawberries onto a parchment lined baking sheet and put them in the oven for 20-25 minutes until soft and cooked down slightly. While strawberries are in the oven, get stared on the oats. Put one cup of water in a pot over medium heat, once it comes to a simmer add 1 tbs of miso paste, stir to combine. Add in oats and stir until it thickens up, about 5 minutes. Try not to let this mixture boil to hard during this time, it will kill any of the live probiotics in the miso. Once thickened, remove from heat, taste, and add in remaining miso paste according to taste. I stirred in a 1/2 tbs of miso paste after the oats were finished cooking to give it some extra oomph, but different brands of miso taste differently. Some are stronger than others. So be sure to give it a try, and doctor it up accordingly.
Put the oats in a bowl, top with roasted strawberries, serve immediately.
