OVEN-ROASTED SWEET POTATOES4 large dark-orange sweet potatoes (about 3 lb. total), peeled
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary leaves, crushed
1/4 teaspoon salt
Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Grease 15x10x1-inch baking pan.
Cut sweet potatoes crosswise into 3/4- inch slices, halving larger sweet potatoes if necessary. Place in single layer in greased pan.
In small microwave-safe bowl, combine oil, honey, rosemary and salt. Microwave on HIGH for 20 to 30 seconds or until heated; blend well. Brush mixture over sweet potato slices.
Bake at 425 degrees F. for 25 to 30 minutes or until sweet potatoes are tender.
*Although frequently called yams, the root vegetables available in our markets are really sweet potatoes. Use dark-orange sweet potatoes rather than the lighter colored variety for this recipe. The lighter potatoes tend to brown more quickly.
KITCHEN TIP:When a recipe calls for both oil and honey, measure the oil first. The oily coating helps the honey quickly release from the spoon or cup.
