This Roasted Sweet Potatoes With Chipotle Orange Butter Recipe Is From Modern Comfort Food Cookbook by Ina Garten

Ingredients Needed:

• 6 small sweet potatoes
• ¼ pound (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon minced canned chipotle pepper (in adobo sauce)
• 1 tablespoon adobo sauce (from the can)
• ½ teaspoon grated orange zest
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

How To Make Roasted Sweet Potatoes With Chipotle Orange Butter?

1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 200°C / 400°F. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
2. Prepare the sweet potatoes: Pierce the potatoes in several places with a sharp knife to prevent them from bursting in the oven. Place them on the prepared sheet pan.
3. Roast the potatoes: Roast the sweet potatoes for one hour, or until very tender when pierced with a knife.
4. Make the chipotle orange butter: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter, maple syrup, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, orange zest, 1 teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of black pepper. Mix on medium speed until smooth and well combined.
5. Shape the butter log: Transfer the butter to a 30 x 20 cm / 12 x 8-inch piece of parchment paper. Using a rubber spatula, form the butter into a strip along the edge of the paper. Roll it up tightly to form a log, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
6. Serve the sweet potatoes: Once the sweet potatoes are roasted, cut a slit in the top of each potato and gently press the ends to open them up. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cut the chipotle butter into 12 slices and place two slices in each potato. Serve hot.

Recipe Tips:

• Choose uniform-sized sweet potatoes: Selecting sweet potatoes of similar size ensures they cook evenly and are all tender at the same time.
• Pierce the potatoes well: Make sure to pierce the sweet potatoes in several places to avoid them bursting in the oven.
• Use room temperature butter: This helps the ingredients mix more smoothly, making the chipotle butter creamy and easy to work with.
• Chill the butter log: Letting the butter set in the fridge for at least 15 minutes makes it easier to slice and serve on the potatoes.
• Don’t skip the salt and pepper: Sprinkling salt and pepper on the potatoes before adding the butter enhances the overall flavor and balances the sweetness.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: First, let the leftover Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Chipotle Orange Butter cool to room temperature. Once cooled, place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
• Freeze: After cooling to room temperature, wrap each sweet potato individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. Freeze for up to 2 months. To thaw, transfer the potatoes to the fridge overnight.
• Reheat: Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350°F. Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and reheat for about 15-20 minutes, or until warmed through.
