Spicy cinnamon and ginger coalesce with sage and thyme in a light presentation of sweet potatoes, a staple menu item at this time of year. Pure cane syrup gives this rendition a full-bodied sweetness that’s unmistakably Southern—you won’t even miss the marshmallows.
Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 375°. Spray a 13×9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a medium saucepan, heat butter, cane syrup, sage, thyme, salt, pepper, cinnamon, and ginger over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until butter is melted. Transfer to a large heatproof bowl. Add sweet potatoes and olive oil, stirring to coat. Transfer to prepared pan.
- Bake for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through. Increase oven temperature to 400°, and bake until edges of potatoes are just beginning to crisp, about 10 minutes more. Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with sage and thyme, if desired.
