# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It turns the humblest vegetable into something you actually crave, crispy edges and all.
  • The miso butter does all the heavy lifting while you do almost nothing.
  • Its rich enough to feel indulgent but light enough that you can eat half a cabbage without regret.
02 -
  • Dont skip the flip halfway through or one side will stay pale and soft while the other burns.
  • If your miso butter is too thick, warm it gently for a few seconds so it brushes on easily.
03 -
  • Let the butter come to room temperature before mixing so it blends smoothly with the miso.
  • Brush the miso butter on thick, the more you use, the more flavor and caramelization you get.
