Different Sweet Potatoes

Savory Sweet Potatoes

 2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon parsley

While sweet potatoes are a holiday favorite, this dish is anything but expected.

Toss sweet potatoes with olive oil and spread in roasting pan.
Roast until just tender, about 40 minutes, turning once with a spatula after 20 minutes.
Melt together remaining ingredients and pour over potatoes in pan.
Return to oven for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, until nicely glazed.
Serve immediately.

You can prepare this dish a day ahead and simply reheat in the oven (covered for 20 to 30 minutes @ 350 degrees) just before serving, if you like.  Good Eating!
