ROASTED HONEY-LEMON SWEET POTATOES



Roasted Honey-Lemon Sweet Potatoes image

Simple dish to make -- sweet but not too sweet. A lighter version using olive oil instead of butter. For holidays or any time. Because they are par-boiled or pre-steamed, they are easy to finish off in the broiler of your oven just before you sit down to dinner. No waiting, turning, or testing, just watch til the edges brown, and they're ready.

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 lbs sweet potatoes, cut into 1 1/2 inch irregular chunks
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Steps:

  • Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into 1 1/2-inch irregular chunks. The more edges they have, the better they will taste because each edge will become crispy from broiler.
  • Parboil potato chunks in a large saucepan until they are softened, but not mushy. Sometimes I prefer to steam them quickly instead, it's your choice. The potatoes need to be almost totally cooked, because they will only be crisped in your oven broiler.
  • While sweet potatoes are boiling or steaming, mix the lemon juice, olive oil, and honey in a large bowl.
  • Set oven on LOW broil or set top broiler element to 450 degrees as soon as potatoes are added to mixture.
  • Drain potatoes and toss with lemon/oil/honey mixture until totally coated. Pour into a 9 by 13 baking dish. Sprinkle with the sea salt, and roast under your oven's broiler setting on second-to-top rack of oven (not too close! Use the rack about 3 inches down from broiler. Broil until edges begin to brown.
  • You'll have to stand and keep an eye on them, this only takes a few minutes with a broiler. Sometimes I rake them over once with a long handled spatula or turn them with silicone tongs.
  • Remove from oven and serve immediately. Warn everyone it's a HOT plate!

SWEET POTATOES BAKED WITH LEMON



Sweet Potatoes Baked With Lemon image

This recipe first appeared in The Times in 1992, with an article by Molly O'Neill, when Edna Lewis, many years after writing her seminal cookbook "The Taste of Country Cooking," was the chef at the Brooklyn restaurant Gage & Tollner. The addition of lemon zest and juice make this brighter and less sweet than typical sweet potato dishes.

Time 2h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 medium sweet potatoes
2 cups light brown sugar (or a mixture of light and dark)
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
A (6-inch) strip of lemon zest (yellow part only)
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup lemon juice

  • Rinse the potatoes under warm water. Place in a large pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are just tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Drain and let cool.
  • Combine the sugar, ½ cup water, nutmeg, lemon zest and salt in a medium saucepan, bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 10 minutes. Add 5 tablespoons butter and stir well. When the butter has melted, remove from the heat and beat in the lemon juice. Set aside.
  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Peel the sweet potatoes and slice into 1/2-inch disks. Use the remaining tablespoon of butter to grease a shallow baking dish. Lay the sweet potatoes in the dish in a single layer and pour the lemon syrup on top. Bake until bubbling hot, about 30 minutes.
