What you'll need
Ingredients
3-4 medium sweet potatoes (2 lb. total), preferably the same size and shape, peeled, halved crosswise, and quartered lengthwise
4 Tbs. unsalted butter; plus more for the pan
¼ cup maple syrup or honey
1/4 cup orange juice or apple cider
½ tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp. cayenne
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
The method
Directions
01
Heat the oven to 400°F. Lightly butter a large Pyrex or ceramic baking dish.
02
Arrange sweet potatoes in a single layer and sprinkle with salt and pepper; set aside.
03
In a small saucepan, melt the butter. Whisk in the maple syrup (or honey), orange juice, ginger and cayenne. Drizzle the mixture over the sweet potatoes and toss the pieces well to coat them thoroughly.
04
Roast until the potatoes are browned and tender and the juices are bubbly and thickened, 45 to 55 minutes. To ensure even roasting, stir and baste several times with the pan juices, doing so more frequently toward the end of roasting.
I first saw these potatoes prepared on an episode of Milk Street Kitchen and thought they looked delicious. Their version is modeled after the potatoes they had tasted at Samoborska Klet restaurant in Zagreb and is a simple one-pot recipe. The potatoes are…
This makes a perfect side dish for Butter Chicken, Chicken Tikka Masala, or Tandoori. Rinsing the rice is an important step which delivers a light and fluffy dish with grains that are separate and distinct.
I love roasted vegetables, especially broccoli and cauliflower. The cauliflower caramelizes beautifully in this recipe and gets tremendous flavor from the ginger and curry.
