Chili Glazed Sweet Potatoes Recipes

CHILE SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Oil a 2-quart baking dish. Place the garlic, salt, chipotles and adobo sauce, cinnamon, cloves, pepper, broth, orange juice and honey in a blender. Blend until smooth. Strain into a large, wide bowl, and stir in the orange zest.
• Cut the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 4-inch lengths. If the sweet potatoes are fat, cut the pieces in half lengthwise into wedges. Add to the bowl, and toss with the adobo mixture until coated. Transfer to the baking dish, then pour on the liquid from the bowl. Drizzle on the oil, and cover tightly with foil.
• Bake 45 minutes in the preheated oven until tender. Raise the heat to 425 degrees, uncover the sweet potatoes and baste with the liquid in the pan. Continue to bake, uncovered, until the sweet potatoes are thoroughly tender and glazed and any sauce remaining in the pan is thick. Garnish with cilantro and serve.

SWEET AND SPICY GLAZED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Put the olive oil in a large mixing bowl. Add the salt, pepper, cinnamon, ginger and 1 tablespoon of the honey and whisk to combine. Add the potatoes and toss to coat. Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet. Roast, stirring halfway though, until the potatoes are tender and the edges are crisp, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, make the glaze: Put the chili sauce, red pepper flakes, hot sauce and remaining 2 tablespoons honey in a small saucepot. Set the pot over medium-high heat and cook, stirring, until the ingredients come together, about 2 minutes.
• Pour the warm glaze over the potatoes on the baking sheet and toss to coat. Pour the glazed potatoes into a serving dish and sprinkle with the pecans and scallions. Serve warm.

CHILI-ROASTED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Toss 1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes(cut into 1-inch pieces) with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon each chili powder and kosher salt and a few grinds of pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and bake at 450 degrees F, stirring halfway through, until crisp, 35 to 45 minutes. Puree 1/4 cup warm water, 1 minced garlic clove, the juice of 1 lime, 2/3 cup cilantro, 3 tablespoons sunflower seed butter and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt in a blender. Serve with the potatoes.

ROASTED SWEET POTATOES WITH HONEY-LIME GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425.
• Toss sweet potatoes with oil, cayenne, and salt in a large bowl until coated.
• 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.

CHILI-GLAZED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel sweet potatoes and cut into 1-inch chunks. Divide chunks equally between 2 lightly oiled baking pans (each 10 by 15 in.); cover tightly with foil.
• Bake in a 450° oven for 15 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until sweet potatoes are tender when pierced, about 25 minutes longer; switch pan positions halfway through baking.
• Meanwhile, put jelly in a 2-cup glass measure. Heat in a microwave oven at full power (100%) until softened, about 20 seconds. Add vinegar and stir until well blended.
• Combine sweet potatoes in 1 pan. Pour jelly mixture evenly over potatoes and turn chunks with a spatula to coat evenly. Continue baking until jelly mixture thickens and sticks to sweet potatoes, about 10 minutes, turning chunks often to prevent scorching.
• Pour into a wide bowl. Sprinkle with cilantro and add about 3 tablespoons lime juice and salt to taste.
