Spicy Roasted Sweet Potatoes With Orange & Honey image

By Karen and Ben Barker, from Fine Cooking, issue #47. I have slightly adapted this recipe as I wanted a bit more spice to these sweet potatoes. This is a great addition to any holiday spread.

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, more for the pan
3 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (regular is fine if you don't have smoked)
4 medium sweet potatoes, preferably the same size and shape, peeled, halved crosswise, and quartered lengthwise (2 lb. total)
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400°F Lightly butter a large Pyrex or ceramic baking dish that can hold the sweet potato wedges in one layer.
  • In a small saucepan, melt the butter. Whisk in the honey, orange juice, and spices. Put the sweet potatoes in the buttered baking dish, add the honey mixture, and toss the pieces well to coat them thoroughly. Arrange the sweet potatoes in a single layer; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • 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. Serve at once.

The potatoes were a bit dry, but the glaze was delicious. I think I would add a little more oil to the potatoes next time.

I've made this recipe several times and it always turns out great. The potatoes are always roasted to perfection and the glaze is delicious. I like to add a bit of extra cayenne pepper for a little more heat.
