Ingredients
The following ingredients have 2 Servings
- 1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 inch chunks
- 1 large shallot, peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon mild curry powder
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
- 1/2 vanilla bean (about 3 inches in length), split lengthwise and seeds scraped
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instruction
- Preheat oven to 425° F.
- In a sauté pan over medium heat, cook the butter until it turns brown and nutty, about 6 minutes. Remove from the heat, and add the curry powder, seeds from vanilla bean, and thyme to the browned butter. Mix well, then add the sweet potatoes and shallots, tossing well so they're evenly coated with the browned butter. Season to taste with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Transfer to a roasting pan, large enough that the sweet potatoes and shallots are in a single layer. Roast for about 30 to 40 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and caramelized. After about 20 minutes, toss the potatoes with a spatula to make sure they’re coated evenly with the browned butter. Remove from the oven and serve warm.
