In that case, we have just what you need, some urgent and delicious inspiration that will not only make your home smell like a cinnamon and nut dream, but it will also fill your tummy with a delicious, sweet and savory treat. This wonderful recipe is, of course, very easy to make, but its main virtue is that it combines all of our favorite fall ingredients: cinnamon, nuts, maple syrup and sweet potatoes.
The video below shows how to make this recipe and you can find the recipe itself after the video:
Cooking time: 50 minutes (of this 5 minutes prep time)
Servings: 2 servings
Difficulty: easy
Ingredients:
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 218°C (425°F).
2. Cut slits into the sweet potato every half a centimeter (¼ inch), but be careful and don't cut all the way through, keeping around 1 cm (½ inch) uncut. Repeat with all your potatoes. Tip: Use a chopstick or two as a guide as in the video.
3. Put the potatoes in a lined pan, rub the oil into the sweet potatoes and add a dash of salt and pepper.
4. Bake the potatoes for 30-40 minutes, they should be ready when they soften.
5. Now remove the sweet potatoes, but DON'T turn the oven off. Instead, increase the temperature to 230°C (450°F), as we will glaze and crisp them up in a minute.
6. Combine butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nuts, and kosher salt in a bowl and mix together. Using a spoon, spread this mixture over the sweet potatoes, making sure you get in-between the slices.
7. Now put the potatoes back into the oven and bake until caramelized, approximately 8-10 minutes.
Voila! Your potatoes are done! Let these cool a little before serving a spoon some of the sauce left in the pan over the potatoes to make them even juicier.
