Step 1
Preheat oven to 450°F. Poke each sweet potato 3–4 times with a fork to prevent bursting.
Step 2
Place potatoes directly on the oven rack over a baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes until skin splits and flesh is tender.
Step 3
Whisk miso, butter, and soy sauce in a small bowl until smooth and pale.
Step 4
Remove potatoes from oven. Slice each open lengthwise and fluff the flesh with a fork.
Step 5
Divide miso butter between the two potatoes, spreading gently into the hot flesh until melted.
Step 6
Top with torn nori and sesame seeds. Serve immediately while steam rises from the center.
