Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup Lignum Scotch Bonnet Pepper Honey
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, thinly sliced (Optional: Adjust for heat preference)
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (For a smoky depth of flavor)
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (Adds brightness)
  • 2 pounds sweet potatoes, skin on, chopped into large chunks (Choose firm, unblemished sweet potatoes)
  • 3 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • Full-fat Greek yogurt, for serving (Optional: Substitute with plant-based yogurt for a vegan option)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Honey Mixture

  • Combine Lignum Scotch Bonnet Pepper Honey, jalapeño slices, smoked paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small saucepan.
  • Bring to a simmer, then remove from heat. Press the jalapeño slices to release more heat. Whisk in olive oil and lime juice. Set aside.

2. Preheat and Prepare the Sweet Potatoes

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • On a parchment-lined baking sheet, toss sweet potatoes with olive oil and salt. Bake for 30 minutes, or until softened.

3. Smash and Glaze the Sweet Potatoes

  • Using a glass, gently smash each potato chunk. Toss with 2/3 of the honey mixture.
  • Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until charred and tender.

4. Plate and Serve

  • Spread Greek yogurt on a plate as a base. Arrange sweet potatoes on top and drizzle with remaining honey mixture.
  • Garnish with lime juice, cilantro, or extra jalapeño slices if desired.

Tips for Success

  • Use high-quality sweet potatoes for the best flavor and texture.
  • Adjust the spice level by adding or reducing jalapeño slices.
  • For evenly roasted sweet potatoes, ensure they are coated evenly with oil.

FAQs

1. Can I make this recipe vegan?
Yes! Substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt alternative.
