# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The miso butter creates this incredible umami crust that you normally need meat to achieve
  • It turns a 2 dollar vegetable into something that feels restaurant fancy
02 -
  • Space the wedges apart or they will steam instead of roast
  • The brushing step is worth the extra time for even coverage
03 -
  • Cut wedges with the core facing up for easier brushing
  • Line your baking sheet well because the sugar will create some sticky spots
