Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 pounds small sweet potatoes (about 6)
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Kosher salt
1/3 cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Pierce the sweet potatoes all over with a fork and microwave on high until cooked through, 8 to 12 minutes, turning them over halfway through the cooking time. Start checking for doneness during the last 4 minutes of cooking time. They should feel soft when you squeeze them. Cut into thick rounds and arrange decoratively in a small or medium baking dish.
  • Stir together the melted butter, honey, cinnamon, allspice, ginger and 1/4 teaspoon salt until smooth. Pour over the potatoes and toss to coat. Roast until the honey butter is bubbly and the potatoes are glazed, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and top with pecans.

CHARRED SWEET POTATOES WITH HONEY AND OLIVE OIL



Charred Sweet Potatoes with Honey and Olive Oil image

Japanese sweet potatoes are starchier than yams and worth seeking out. Steaming before grilling keeps them moist.

Provided by Alison Carroll

Categories     Bon Appétit     Grill/Barbecue     Sweet Potato/Yam     Side     Vegetable     Summer     Honey

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 small or 4 large Japanese sweet potatoes
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
Kosher salt
Flaky sea salt
Freshly cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Rub sweet potatoes with 2 Tbsp. oil and wrap tightly in foil-you can wrap them on their own or put 2 in each packet. Grill, turning every 5 minutes or so, until tender, 30-45 minutes. Unwrap and let cool slightly. (Or, steam in a basket set over a pot filled with 1" of boiling water 30-35 minutes. If not using right away, let cool, then cover and chill until ready to grill-up to 2 days.)
  • Meanwhile, bring honey, vinegar, and a big pinch of kosher salt to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high (you can do this on the grill if you want), reduce heat, and simmer until just beginning to thicken, about 4 minutes. Keep warm.
  • Cut sweet potatoes in half lengthwise. Rub cut surfaces with 1 Tbsp. oil total; season with kosher salt. Grill, cut side down, without turning, until lightly charred, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and brush with honey glaze.
  • Arrange sweet potatoes on a platter and drizzle with more glaze and remaining 1 Tbsp. oil. Season with sea salt and pepper.
