Roasted Sweet Potatoes With Five Spice Butter Recipes

ROASTED SWEET POTATOES WITH HONEY AND CINNAMON

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.

ROASTED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Put the sweet potato halves in a large bowl and set aside. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the sugar and allspice and stir until melted and combined. Pour the spiced butter over the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Put the potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Roast until the potatoes are tender, turning once, about 45 minutes depending on the size of the potatoes. Transfer to a warmed platter and drizzle over any accumulated pan juices. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

ROASTED SWEET POTATO QUICK BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Grease an 8-by-4-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Beat the butter and the sugar in an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on medium speed until it becomes light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the egg and mix until blended. Remove the bowl from the mixer and use a rubber spatula to gently fold in the roasted sweet potato.
• Add the flour, salt, ginger, baking soda, baking powder, cloves, orange zest and 1 teaspoon cinnamon and fold gently until just combined. Do not overmix or the bread will become tough.
• Transfer the batter to the baking dish in an even layer and place in the center of the oven. Bake until a toothpick or small paring knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 55 minutes. Shut off the oven and let the bread sit in the oven 5 minutes more. Remove from the oven and cool at least 30 minutes before unmolding.
• Unmold the bread onto a serving platter. Bring the honey to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat until it froths and turns amber-brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, then add the orange juice and remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Return to the heat and simmer 30 seconds to combine. Pour carefully over the top of the cooled bread.

ROASTED SWEET POTATOES WITH FIVE-SPICE BUTTER

ROASTED AND SPICED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a small saucepan over low heat, melt butter. Stir in sugar, fennel seeds, and allspice until combined and sugar is dissolved.
• In a large bowl, toss potatoes with spiced butter. Season with salt and pepper.
• In a baking pan, roast potatoes until tender, about 45 minutes, turning once halfway through.
• Transfer to a warmed platter and drizzle with pan juices. Season with additional salt and pepper, if desired.

ROASTED SWEET POTATOES WITH HORSERADISH BUTTER

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.
