Lemony Roasted Sweet Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Cut 1 pounds peeled Yukon Gold potatoes into 1-inch chunks; toss with 3 tablespoons olive oil, 3 chopped garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon each pepper and dried oregano in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Add 1/4 cup each lemon juice and chicken broth. Roast at 425 degrees F until the potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes. Toss with chopped parsley.

Steps:

• 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.

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!
