  • Place vegetables and garlic on a lined or greased baking tray large enough for the vegetables to be in one layer. You may need 2 trays if you don't have one large enough. Drizzle with olive oil.
    2 tablespoon olive oil
  • Roast for 40 minutes, stirring half way through.
  • Remove vegetables from oven and place in a pot large enough to hold all ingredients, including water.
  • Add bay leaves, peppercorns, and parsley.
    2 bay leaves, 1 tablespoon peppercorns, 1 small bunch parsley with stems, rinsed
  • Mix miso with ½ cup hot tap water, stir with a fork to dissolve and remove lumps. Add to pot along with 4 liters of cold water.
    2 tablespoon white miso paste
  • Bring to a boil and reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Continue simmering for one hour.
  • Strain and discard vegetables. Let cool and place in containers.
  • Vegetable can be kept in the fridge for one week or in the freezer for 6 months. If freezing, make sure to leave space at the top of the container to allow for expansion. Otherwise the lid could pop off.
