From everything I hear, it seems like people either love or hate sweet potatoes. I definitely fall into the later category. Mashed sweet potatoes is a favorite of mine and very simple to make.
So with that in mind, I asked Jenn to make up a batch of this here recipe that I saw Tyler Florence make on one of his many programs. They seemed simple enough and if successful, we would have another side dish to add to the ol' rolodex.
Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Honey Butter
4 yams, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling potatoes after cooked
1/4 cup honey
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Lay the sweet potatoes out in a single layer on a roasting tray. Drizzle the oil, honey, cinnamon, salt and pepper over the potatoes. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes in oven or until tender.
- Take sweet potatoes out of the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. Drizzle with more extra-virgin olive oil.
Jenn and I agree that this recipe is just missing something. The flavor was okay, it just didn't really add much. I think we are going to have to stick to just mashing our yams until we come across another recipe to try.
