So, you bought a tub of miso paste for a recipe. Congratulations! Chances are that recipe only required a tablespoon or two of that miso, so you're left with a bunch more to play with.

Miso is a fermented paste, usually made out of soybeans (but you can find versions made from chickpeas, barley, and rice). In addition to packing lots of flavor in every spoonful, miso is also teeming with good-for-your-gut probiotics.

Here are nine ways to get more miso into your life.

Miso-Tahini Avocado Toast

Avocado toast gets a creamy and savory addition with a layer of miso-tahini spread.

Roasted Root Vegetables With Miso Glaze

Add some pizzazz to your roasted vegetable routine.

Sesame Ginger Miso Cucumber Salad

Light, crisp, and addictive.

Hummus With Miso

Miso and hummus just make sense together. Pair with veggies and sesame crackers.

15-Minute Miso Soup With Greens + Tofu

Make this Japanese takeout classic at home—quickly AND with more greens.

Maple Miso Roasted Vegetable + Quinoa Bowl

Homemade Spicy Ramen With Tofu

Scallion, Miso + Peanut Patties

Chocolate-Dipped Peanut Butter Miso Cookies

Like flaky sea salt, miso adds that extra "something" to a dessert.
