Charred Sweet Potatoes With Hot Honey Butter And Lime Recipes

CHARRED SWEET POTATOES WITH HOT HONEY BUTTER AND LIME

Steps:

• Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 425°F. Place sweet potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with ¼ cup oil, and season with kosher salt. Turn to coat. Arrange cut side down and roast until tender (the tip of a knife should slide easily into flesh) and cut sides are browned, 25-30 minutes. Let sweet potatoes cool.
• Meanwhile, smash together butter and honey in a small bowl with a fork until smooth. Add hot sauce a tablespoonful at a time, blending well after each addition. Season hot honey butter with kosher salt.
• Cook pumpkin seeds and remaining ¼ cup oil in a small skillet over medium heat, stirring often, until pumpkin seeds are golden brown, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in coriander; season with kosher salt.
• Arrange sweet potatoes on a platter and spread with hot honey butter. Sprinkle with sea salt and spoon pumpkin seed oil over. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.
• Do Ahead: Hot honey butter can be made 1 week ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before using.

• Transfer to a baking sheet and roast until fork tender, 25 minute.
• Whisk honey, lime juice, and cinnamon together in a small bowl while potatoes roast.
• Once potatoes are tender, coat with glaze and roast 5 minutes more.
• Garnish with cilantro.

ROASTED SWEET POTATOES WITH HOT HONEY BROWNED BUTTER

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.
