Here is a flavorful Thanksgiving side dish to accompany the the Turkey as recommended by Chef Robin Lehnhoff-McCray of Kenwood Vineyards.
Ingredients:- 2/3 cup roughly chopped pecans
- 3 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into large diced pieces
- salt and pepper
- 2 Tbs. olive oil
- 4 Tbs. unsalted butter
- 3 Tbs. maple syrup
- 1 Tbs. fresh rosemary leaves
- ¼ tsp. cayenne pepper
Instructions:
Heat oven to 450° F. and place rack at mid level. While oven heats, place pecans on a baking dish and toast them until they smell nutty and are slightly darker - approximately 5 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
Place sweet potatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper and toss to coat. Roast in oven until golden brown and tender when pierced with a knife - approximately 40-45 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. When it begins to foam, stir in maple syrup, rosemary and cayenne pepper, and cook briefly - approximately 1 minute. Serve sweet potatoes with a drizzle of maple butter and a smattering of pecans.
