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.

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

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.

These were the best sweet potatoes I've ever had! I'll definitely be making them again and again.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sweet potatoes came out mushy. I think I might have cooked them for too long.

These sweet potatoes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

These were really easy to make and they turned out great. I'm not sure why some people are saying they were too spicy. I thought they were just right.

I thought the orange honey sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less honey next time.

These were a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a hotter chili powder than the recipe called for. Next time I'll use a milder chili powder or maybe even omit it altogether.

I added a little bit of chili powder to the orange honey sauce and it gave it a nice kick. I also used a mix of orange and grapefruit juice, which I thought added a nice tartness.

I followed the recipe exactly and the sweet potatoes came out perfect. They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
