Melting Sweet Potatoes

This is the sweet potato version of one of my very favorite potato recipes- Melting Potatoes.

Sweet potatoes don’t get quite as crispy or caramelized as regular potatoes since their moisture content is much higher, but they still taste absolutely divine.

How To Serve

Melting Sweet Potatoes make a fabulous accompaniment to beef, chicken, or pork and the leftovers taste great diced and added to a salad. They also make a great Thanksgiving side dish.

Recipe Tips

• Some baking pans are better than others at getting vegetables browned in the oven. I find the darker coated pans lead to more browning.
• These Melting Sweet Potatoes are cooked at a very high temperature so it is important to NOT use a glass baking dish. They run the risk of shattering under high heat.
• To make these potatoes spicy, add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper.
• You can use chicken, beef, or vegetable broth to make these potatoes. Your choice.

Variations

If you want to add more flavor, you can add a little chopped fresh thyme or rosemary. For a little extra sweetness and spice, drizzle the finished dish with hot honey. For a little crunch, add some chopped toasted pecans.
