Steps:
- 1. Scrub the sweet potatoes, pierce each with a fork, and place in oven directly on the rack with the turkey (or in a preheated 350º F oven). Bake 45 minutes to 1 hour or until fork-tender. 2. Meanwhile, combine the maple syrup, vanilla bean, and cloves in a glass measuring cup and microwave 5 minutes. Or heat the syrup, vanilla bean, and cloves in a small saucepan and simmer 5 minutes. (The syrup can be made up to 2 days ahead.) 3. Remove the potatoes from the oven and cut each lengthwise into 4 wedges. Arrange on a serving dish, sprinkle with the salt, and pour the scented syrup (without the cloves and vanilla bean) over them.
Tips:
- Choose sweet potatoes that are firm and have smooth skin. Avoid any potatoes that have bruises or blemishes.
- Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly before cooking.
- Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork before baking. This will help them cook more evenly.
- Bake the sweet potatoes at a high temperature (400°F) for a short amount of time (about 45 minutes). This will help them caramelize and develop a delicious flavor.
- Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, let them cool slightly before handling them. They will be very hot!
- Serve the sweet potatoes with your favorite toppings, such as butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, or marshmallows.
