Sweet Potatoes With Yogurt Maple Dressing Recipes

MAPLE ROASTED SWEET POTATOES WITH YOGURT AND HORSERADISH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Pierce the potatoes with a fork and roast until al dente, about 40 minutes. Allow to cool before peeling and cutting into 2-inch-thick coins.
• Adjust the oven temperature to 450 degrees F.
• Combine the maple syrup and miso in a medium bowl and whisk until combined. Thin with a little water if needed to make sure it is pourable.
• Place the potatoes in an 8-inch square baking dish and pour the maple syrup mixture over the top. Roast until the edges start to char up a little bit, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, grate the fresh horseradish into to the yogurt in a medium bowl, then season with salt, pepper and red wine vinegar. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Set aside.
• Mix together the peanuts, chia seeds, poppy seeds, sesame seeds and sunflower seeds in a shallow dish. Roll the roasted potato slices in the seed mixture.
• Place the potatoes, seeded-side up, atop the horseradish yogurt on a large serving platter.

MAPLE-GLAZED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Slice each sweet potato in half lengthwise, and slice each half crosswise into 1-inch-thick half-moons.
• Melt butter in a large cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add sweet potatoes; toss to coat evenly. Add maple syrup; toss potatoes to coat, and bring to a boil.
• Transfer skillet to oven; cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are golden, well glazed, and tender when pierced with a paring knife, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven, and season with salt and pepper. Serve hot, garnished with thyme.

SWEET POTATOES WITH YOGURT AND CILANTRO-CHILE SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
• In a large bowl, combine 1/4 cup oil, the honey, juice from 1 lime, a large pinch of salt and pepper to taste, and toss with potato wedges. Spread in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet, bake until tender and lightly browned in spots, 45 to 55 minutes. Sprinkle with additional salt to taste.
• Meanwhile, in a food processor, pulse to combine 1/3 cup oil, the cilantro, chiles, garlic, almonds, juice from remaining lime, vinegar and a large pinch of salt, until it forms a chunky purée. Taste and add more salt if needed.
• Spoon the sauce over the potatoes, dollop with some yogurt, drizzle with oil, and serve with any remaining yogurt on the side.

CANDIED SWEET POTATOES WITH MAPLE SYRUP

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to a boil; add sweet potatoes. Continue to boil until they are easily pierced with a knife, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain.
• While potatoes boil, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray an 8x8-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
• Mash the potatoes thoroughly in a bowl. Mix cinnamon, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and allspice together and stir into the potatoes. Transfer to the prepared baking pan. Mix maple syrup and butter together and drizzle over top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, 5 to 10 minutes.

BAKED SWEET POTATO WITH HONEY YOGURT AND WALNUTS

Steps:

• Scrub the sweet potato under running water. Dry and wrap in foil.
• Bake in a 400-degree oven for 40-45 minutes or until soft.
• In the meantime, mix the yogurt, honey and mustard together. (*mustard is optional in this step, but is best to use mustard the first time to determine if you like that flavor*).
• Set aside.
• Put the walnuts on a small baking sheet or pie plate. Toast them in the oven for 5-7 minutes near the end of the sweet potato cooking time. Shake them occasionally and watch them so they don't burn.
• To serve, cut the sweet potato in half, spoon with the yogurt sauce and sprinkle with the toasted walnuts.

MAPLE-WHIPPED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Pierce the potatoes with a fork or knife. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until soft. Let cool slightly.
• When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them in half and scoop the potato pulp into a bowl. Add the butter, sour cream and maple syrup. Using a potato masher or sturdy whisk, mash or beat the potatoes until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Transfer to a covered casserole and keep warm until ready to serve.

MAPLE GLAZED SWEET POTATOES WITH BACON AND CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Toss the sweet potato chunks, olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl, and spread the sweet potatoes out onto a large rimmed baking sheet.
• Roast in the preheated oven until browned and tender, about 40 minutes; stir after the first 20 minutes.
• Cook the bacon until crisp and brown in a large skillet over medium heat, about 10 minutes; transfer bacon to a bowl, but leave the grease in the skillet. Cook the onions in the bacon grease until browned, about 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to low, and cook the onions until very soft, brown, and sweet, another 10 to 15 minutes. Stir often. Mix the onions with the bacon in the bowl, and set aside.
• Pour the maple syrup into the hot skillet with the thyme, and bring to a rolling boil. Boil the syrup until reduced by half, 3 to 4 minutes. Place the roasted sweet potatoes and onion-bacon mixture into the skillet, and stir to coat the vegetables with maple glaze. Transfer to a serving dish.
