Categories     side-dish

Time 35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 stick unsalted butter, quartered
3/4 cup molasses
1/2 cup light brown sugar
Pinch cayenne pepper
1 cup bourbon
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 large sweet potatoes, par cooked and cut into 2-inch dice
3/4 cup toasted chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Combine the butter, molasses, brown sugar and cayenne in a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat until smooth, about 5 minutes. Increase the heat to high, add the bourbon and cook for 2 minutes to allow alcohol to burn out. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Put the potatoes in a large baking dish, pour the molasses mixture over and toss to coat. Roast in the oven, stirring a few times, until the potatoes are cooked through and glazed, about 20 minutes. Remove to a platter and top with the pecans.
  • Alternatively, this can be done in a large saute pan: Melt the butter, molasses, brown sugar and cayenne over medium heat. Add the bourbon and let the alcohol cook out. Add the potatoes and cook until glazed over medium-high heat. Transfer to a platter and top with the pecans.

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400° F. Line a half sheet pan with parchment paper. Arrange sweet potato slices with smallest pieces towards the center of the pan, drizzle oil evenly, and roast. Flip the sweet potatoes after 15 minutes and return to the oven. Continue cooking another 12-15 minutes until golden in color. Drizzle with the prepared Pomegranate Molasses just before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
  • Scrub the sweet potatoes well: Use a vegetable brush to scrub the sweet potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Prick the sweet potatoes: Use a fork to prick the sweet potatoes all over. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from bursting.
  • Roast the sweet potatoes at a high temperature: Roasting the sweet potatoes at a high temperature will help them caramelize and develop a crispy exterior.
  • Toss the sweet potatoes with pomegranate molasses: Pomegranate molasses is a sweet and tangy sauce that will add a delicious flavor to the roasted sweet potatoes.
  • Garnish the sweet potatoes with pomegranate seeds and parsley: Pomegranate seeds and parsley will add a pop of color and flavor to the roasted sweet potatoes.

Conclusion:
