Roasted Scallions with Miso Butter

January 13, 2015 by hapagirl 12 Comments

Roasted Scallions Banner You guys, I found the best deal in town!  I went to my local Asian mega-mart, and found 8 bunches of scallions for $1.00!  That’s right, $1.00!  And not 8 scallions… 8 bunches of scallions!  This wasn’t a bottom of the barrel (we’ve got to move product or it goes bad), kind of deal – these scallions were beautiful and fresh. Scallions - EVOO drizzle I use scallions generously in my cooking, even still… I found myself with far more than I knew what to do with!  Towards the end of the week, the ends of the scallions were juuuust starting to wilt, so I remembered a time when cooking with my friend, Seung Hee.  During one of our ‘cooking parties’ she roasted several bunches of scallions with just a little olive oil, salt, and pepper.  Almost instantly, I could smell them roasting in the oven – incredible!  The miso butter I added later, was in part an inspiration from my Asparagus with Poached Egg and Roasted Garlic Miso Butter recipe and Saveur’s, Miso Roasted Scallions.  The addition of the miso butter added a wonderful balance of umami to the robust flavors of the scallions.  This dish is quick, super easy, and packed with immense depth… plus it makes your entire house smell incredible – always a nice bonus.

      Thanks, Nagi! I usually eat them as a snack or as a veggie side dish – and they pair wonderfully with steak.

    This is a wonderful recipe, Kathleen! I love scallions, too, but have never tried roasting them. Never heard of miso butter, either, but it sounds just delicious. Simple but packed with flavour!

      I know! I thought it was mis-marked – but that was in fact the price! The miso butter is great on all sorts of veggies – it really rounds out flavors.
