Miso is a common ingredient in Asian cooking. Like other umami-rich ingredients like soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, anchovy, and Parmesan, miso is known for imparting an intense, hard-to-put-your-finger-on-it, savoriness and saltiness to recipes. It makes them taste, well, better. I’m no stranger to the importance of umami (it’s why I reach for soy sauce and Parmesan often when cooking salmon—see this Soy Ginger Salmon, Teriyaki Salmon, and Salmon Pasta for a few); however, miso isn’t an ingredient I kept on hand until recently....

In our house, we rely on roasted fresh vegetables about as much as our WIFI. For only a few minutes of chopping, they’re such an easy way to add nutrition and complete a well-rounded meal. From Roasted Butternut Squash to Roasted Brussels Sprouts, often little more than salt, pepper, and olive oil is needed to magically transform a vegetable into caramelized candy. If you ask me, baked spaghetti squash in the oven is an underutilized roasted vegetable, especially since it can be enjoyed in a variety of ways....
