Provided by Geoffrey Zakarian

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and thickly sliced
8 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 allspice berries
1 vanilla bean, split
1 cinnamon stick
1 piece star anise
1 orange, quartered
1 banana, sliced
3 tablespoons maple syrup
1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the sweet potatoes and cook until very soft, about 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes, then cover and keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the allspice, vanilla bean, cinnamon and star anise. Toast the spices, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the orange quarters and banana slices, raise the heat to medium high and cook, flipping the fruit once, until slightly brown, about 2 minutes per side. Add the maple syrup to the skillet, cover, remove from the heat and set aside to allow the flavors to meld for about 30 minutes.
  • Squeeze the juice from the orange quarters into the syrup mixture and discard the peels. Remove and discard the spices, being careful not to lose any of the syrup.
  • Puree the warm sweet potatoes in a food processor, slowly adding the cream and remaining 6 tablespoons butter. Add the banana-syrup mixture and puree until fully incorporated. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve warm.

Time 1h25m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed
4 bananas, unpeeled
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup honey
Kosher salt
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
1 1/2 cups pecans, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Prick the sweet potatoes all over with a fork, put them in a roasting pan and roast for 30 minutes. Toss the bananas into the pan and continue roasting for 10 to 15 minutes, until both the bananas and potatoes are very soft. Remove the pan from the oven but don't turn the oven off.
  • When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, scoop out the flesh into a large mixing bowl. Peel the bananas and add them to the bowl along with 1 stick of the butter, and the honey. Season with salt and beat vigorously with a wooden spoon until everything's well combined and the mixture is fluffy. Spoon into an oven-proof serving bowl and smooth the top.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, use your fingers to rub together the remaining stick of butter, the brown sugar, flour, and pecans until the mixture is the consistency of coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the crumb mixture over the sweet potatoes and return to the oven. Cook for about 20 minutes, until the crumbs are golden. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Select the right sweet potatoes: Choose firm, evenly-shaped sweet potatoes with smooth skin. Avoid any that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Prepare the sweet potatoes properly: Scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or debris. Then, poke them a few times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
  • Bake the sweet potatoes until tender: Bake the sweet potatoes at a high temperature (400°F) for about an hour or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Let the sweet potatoes cool slightly before handling: Once the sweet potatoes are baked, let them cool for a few minutes before handling. This will make them easier to cut and work with.
  • Use a variety of toppings: Feel free to experiment with different toppings for your sweet potato bake. Some popular options include butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, marshmallows, and pecans.
