Vanilla Sweet Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; spray with nonstick spray.
• Split vanilla bean lengthwise with the tip of a sharp knife. Holding the pod open, scrape seeds from each half using the flat side of your knife.
• Combine vanilla bean, scraped seeds, and olive oil in a small saucepan over very low heat. Warm the oil until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool, about 5 minutes.
• Cut sweet potato and apple into noodles using a spiralizer. Place in a large bowl.
• Whisk 2 tablespoons olive oil, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, and ginger together in a small bowl. Drizzle over sweet potato and apple; toss well to coat.
• Spread sweet potato and apple in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven, turning once, until golden, about 10 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees F (218 degrees C). Roast until ends of sweet potato start to brown and toast, 5 to 10 minutes more.

Steps:

• Pierce potatoes with a fork, and arrange in a circle on paper towels in microwave oven.
• Microwave at high 10 minutes or until tender, rearranging potatoes after 5 minutes.
• Wrap in a towel; let stand 5 minutes.
• Peel and mash potatoes.
• Combine with milk and remaining ingredients.
• Place in a 1-quart casserole; cover and microwave on medium for 7 minutes, or until thoroughly heated.

Steps:

• Place the potatoes, 2 cups water, salt and pepper into a medium saucepan with a lid. Bring to a boil and return to a simmer, cover and cook until very tender, about 20 minutes. Add the potatoes, but not the liquid, to a food processor, and puree until smooth. Add the butter and the vanilla bean seeds to the puree, and pulse again until all ingredients are incorporated and smooth. Hold until ready to plate.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Place sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain. Peel sweet potatoes once they are cool enough to handle. Slice sweet potatoes into 1-inch thick rounds; arrange in a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
• Mix brown sugar, butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt together in a saucepan; bring to a boil, stirring often, until sugar has dissolved and butter has melted, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour sauce over sliced sweet potatoes.
• Bake in the preheated oven until heated through and sauce has slightly reduced, about 1 hour. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Put potatoes on baking sheet and bake until fork tender, approximately 1 hour.
