Roasted Sweet Potatoes With Compound Butters Recipes

Steps:

• In a heavy-duty resealable plastic bag, combine butter, horseradish, parsley, dill, panko, lemon zest and juice, salt and pepper. Close the bag, pressing out most of the air. Mash everything together until well combined and smooth, then use a ruler or the back edge of a knife to scrape and work the butter to the bottom of the bag so it forms a log, rolling it as you go. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to firm up, or up to 1 week.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Prick sweet potatoes several times with a fork and wrap tightly in aluminum foil. Transfer to a baking sheet and roast until potatoes are tender, 45 minutes to 1 1/2 hours, depending on the size of the potatoes. Once cool enough to handle, unwrap and slice into 1/2-inch-thick rounds (there is no need to peel unless you dislike the skins). Potatoes can be roasted up to 2 days ahead; wrap and chill, then slice them just before using.
• Arrange rounds on a large rimmed baking sheet and count how many you have. Slice enough thin slabs of butter from the log so that you have one per potato slice, and place butter on top of potato slices.
• Move the oven rack so that it's 4 inches away from the broiler. Bake potatoes at 350 degrees until they are heated through and the butter is softened, 5 to 15 minutes depending upon how cold the potatoes were. Adjust oven temperature to broil, and broil until the butter is golden brown at the edges, 2 to 4 minutes. Serve garnished with herbs and fresh horseradish if you like.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Poke sweet potatoes all over with a fork and place them all directly on the oven rack. Roast until they are very tender, with bits of sweet potato sugar caramelizing in the spots they've been poked, 50 to 60 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small pot over medium heat, swirling the pot just until the butter starts to bubble and brown, about 5 minutes. Add the honey, vinegar and red pepper flakes, swirling to combine (it will bubble up quite a bit), and season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Once the sweet potatoes are out of the oven, slit them down the middle. Warm the browned butter mixture, and pour over the sweet potatoes. (Alternatively, scoop the flesh out of the skins and transfer to a bowl or serving dish, then drizzle with the browned butter sauce.) Generously sprinkle with flaky sea salt.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Lay the sweet potatoes out in a single layer on a roasting tray. Drizzle the oil, honey, cinnamon, salt and pepper over the potatoes. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes in oven or until tender.
• Take sweet potatoes out of the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. Drizzle with more extra-virgin olive oil.

Steps:

• For sweet potaotes:.
• Preheat oven to 425degrees F.
• Wash sweet potatoes (I use a brush) but keep skins intact.
• Roast on foil lined sheet for 30 to 45 minutes - until the skin is separated from the flesh. They may be sputtering caramelized sugars at the end of cooking (hence the aluminum foil as this stuff will smoke if it gets stuck on the floor of your oven).
• For Compound Butters:.
• Molasses-clove - Mix 4 ounces softened butter with the molasses, salt, pepper & cloves. Easy on the cloves. Pack butter into small serving dish & chill lightly until ready to serve or keep at room temperature.
• Maple-nutmeg - Mix 4 ounces softened butter with the maple syrup, salt, pepper & nutmeg. Pack butter into small serving dish & chill lightly until ready to serve or keep at room temperature.
• Orange-pepper - Mix 4 ounces of the softened butter with the orange zest, juice, salt & pepper. Pack butter into small serving dish & chill lightly until ready to serve or keep at room temperature.

Steps:

• Cut the potatoes into 2-inch cubes. Add them to a large pot, cover them with water and add salt to taste. Bring them to a boil, cook for 10 minutes, drain and cool. The potatoes will only be partially cooked and should be completely dry before you roast them.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Toss the potatoes with the canola oil and spread them in one layer on a baking sheet. Roast until crispy and cooked through, about 45 minutes.
• While the potatoes are roasting, make the herb butter: Mix the softened butter with the parsley, thyme and rosemary and add salt and pepper to taste.
• When the potatoes are done, put them into a large bowl, toss with the herb butter and serve immediately.
