Roasted Yam Halves Martha Stewart Recipes

Steps:

• Rinse the potatoes under warm water. Place in a large pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are just tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Drain and let cool.
• Combine the sugar, ½ cup water, nutmeg, lemon zest and salt in a medium saucepan, bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 10 minutes. Add 5 tablespoons butter and stir well. When the butter has melted, remove from the heat and beat in the lemon juice. Set aside.
• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Peel the sweet potatoes and slice into 1/2-inch disks. Use the remaining tablespoon of butter to grease a shallow baking dish. Lay the sweet potatoes in the dish in a single layer and pour the lemon syrup on top. Bake until bubbling hot, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. On a baking sheet, toss potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and herbs. Roast until tender, turning occasionally, about 35 minutes. Remove from oven. Serve potatoes hot or cold.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On a large rimmed baking sheet, combine potatoes, onion, bell pepper, rosemary, and oil; season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Arrange racks in upper and lower thirds of oven.
• Cut each yam lengthwise into six spears. Place on baking sheet, and toss with brown sugar, 1 tablespoon oil, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Place on lower rack of oven, and roast 15 minutes. Remove from oven, and turn over each spear with a metal spatula. Return to lower rack of oven until well browned, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven, and keep warm until ready to serve.
• After returning yams to oven, combine breadcrumbs, oregano, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a shallow bowl. Dredge pork medallions one at a time in breadcrumbs, turning to completely coat. Transfer to a plate while repeating with remaining medallions.
• Coat a shallow baking dish or cast-iron skillet with remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil. Add pork medallions, and transfer to upper rack of oven. Cook 6 minutes; turn and cook until pork is browned and firm to the touch, about 6 minutes more. Transfer to a cutting board.
• While pork and potatoes are cooking, place wet spinach leaves in a large saucepan over high heat. Cover, and steam, stirring occasionally, until wilted, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Slice pork on the bias, and place on serving plate with yams, steamed spinach, and lime wedges.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Generously butter a rimmed baking sheet.
• Halve squash crosswise. Scoop out seeds; discard. Slice a small piece off bottom of each squash half just enough to level.
• Set squash halves, scooped sides down, on prepared sheet. Bake until golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Turn squash; prick insides all over with a fork. Divide 2 tablespoons butter and sugar among halves; season with salt and pepper. Continue to bake until flesh is easily pierced with the tip of a paring knife, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve warm.
