ROASTED SWEET POTATOES WITH HORSERADISH BUTTER



Roasted Sweet Potatoes With Horseradish Butter image

This recipe plays velvety, honeyed roasted sweet potatoes against the sharp bite of a fresh horseradish and herb compound butter. It's a great dish for feeding a crowd at Thanksgiving or another gathering. You can roast the potatoes and make the horseradish butter ahead, then pop them into the oven just 15 minutes before serving, while the turkey rests. If you can't find fresh horseradish, substitute another aromatic ingredient like garlic, fresh ginger or scallions, adjusting the quantities to taste. You'll need less ginger and garlic than you would horseradish, and probably the same amount of scallions. Taste as you go.

Time 2h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup finely grated fresh horseradish, plus coarsely grated horseradish for garnish if desired
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, more for garnish
3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, more for garnish
3 tablespoons panko bread crumbs
Finely grated zest and juice of 1/2 lemon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 pounds sweet potatoes

Steps:

  • In a heavy-duty resealable plastic bag, combine butter, horseradish, parsley, dill, panko, lemon zest and juice, salt and pepper. Close the bag, pressing out most of the air. Mash everything together until well combined and smooth, then use a ruler or the back edge of a knife to scrape and work the butter to the bottom of the bag so it forms a log, rolling it as you go. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to firm up, or up to 1 week.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Prick sweet potatoes several times with a fork and wrap tightly in aluminum foil. Transfer to a baking sheet and roast until potatoes are tender, 45 minutes to 1 1/2 hours, depending on the size of the potatoes. Once cool enough to handle, unwrap and slice into 1/2-inch-thick rounds (there is no need to peel unless you dislike the skins). Potatoes can be roasted up to 2 days ahead; wrap and chill, then slice them just before using.
  • Arrange rounds on a large rimmed baking sheet and count how many you have. Slice enough thin slabs of butter from the log so that you have one per potato slice, and place butter on top of potato slices.
  • Move the oven rack so that it's 4 inches away from the broiler. Bake potatoes at 350 degrees until they are heated through and the butter is softened, 5 to 15 minutes depending upon how cold the potatoes were. Adjust oven temperature to broil, and broil until the butter is golden brown at the edges, 2 to 4 minutes. Serve garnished with herbs and fresh horseradish if you like.

Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 lb medium sweet potatoes, peeled and each cut lengthwise into 8 spears
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup molasses (not robust or blackstrap)
1/3 cup bottled horseradish (including juice; 3 oz)

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in lower third of oven and preheat oven to 450°F.

  • While potatoes roast, bring butter, molasses, horseradish (with juice), and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt to a boil in a small heavy saucepan, stirring, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened and reduced to about 3/4 cup, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer mixture to a blender and purée 30 seconds (use caution when blending hot liquids). Pour glaze through a fine-mesh sieve into a heatproof bowl, pressing on and discarding solids. Drizzle glaze over cooked sweet potatoes and gently toss until coated.
  • Just before serving, bake glazed sweet potatoes in lower third of oven until hot, 3 to 5 minutes.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dinner Recipes     Dinner Side Dishes

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 large sweet potatoes (about 6 pounds)
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
2 teaspoons coarse salt
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1 tablespoon light-brown sugar
2 tablespoons molasses
1/4 cup maple syrup

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Place potatoes on a baking sheet and transfer to oven. Roast until easily pierced with a fork, about an hour. Let potatoes cool slightly; remove skin and discard.
  • Transfer potatoes to the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; beat until smooth. Add butter, salt, orange juice, sugar, molasses, and maple syrup; beat until butter is melted and mixture is well combined. Serve immediately or store, covered and refrigerated, up to 1 day. To reheat, transfer potato mixture to an ovenproof dish, cover, and place in a 350-degree oven until heated through.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Sweet Potatoes: Select firm and evenly shaped sweet potatoes to ensure even cooking. Smaller sweet potatoes are often more tender and flavorful.
  • Cut the Sweet Potatoes Properly: Cut the sweet potatoes into uniform spears to ensure even cooking and a visually appealing presentation.
  • Use Fresh Horseradish: Fresh horseradish provides a more pungent and flavorful taste compared to prepared horseradish. If using prepared horseradish, adjust the amount according to your desired level of spiciness.
  • Adjust the Spiciness: The amount of horseradish used in the recipe can be adjusted to suit your preference for spiciness. Start with a small amount and gradually increase until the desired level of heat is achieved.
  • Caramelize the Molasses: Caramelizing the molasses adds a rich and slightly smoky flavor to the glaze. Make sure to stir the molasses constantly to prevent burning.
  • Baste the Sweet Potato Spears: Basting the sweet potato spears with the molasses glaze during baking helps them develop a beautiful glaze and keeps them moist.
  • Serve Immediately: Serve the molasses horseradish sweet potato spears warm for the best flavor and texture. They can be enjoyed as a side dish or as a vegetarian main course.

Conclusion:

Molasses horseradish sweet potato spears are a delightful side dish or vegetarian main course that combines sweet, spicy, and savory flavors.
