Roasted Sweet Potato With Banana Walnut Crumbles Recipes

ROASTED SWEET POTATOES WITH WALNUT PARSLEY & GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 C / 395 F.
• Line a flat baking tray with parchment paper. Place sweet potato wedges in the tray, inner side up, and drizzle them with olive oil. Sprinkle evenly with 1 teaspoon of salt. Place in the oven, middle shelf for 30 minutes. At a 15-minute mark, rotate the tray for even cooking.
• In the meantime, place the topping ingredients in a food processor and grind into small crumbs. Set aside. If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the ingredients finely with a knife.
• Once cooked, remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and season with a little more sea salt (about half a teaspoon or so). Sprinkle the walnut and parsley crumbs evenly over the top. You can garnish the final dish with a few whole parsley leaves and walnuts, if you like. Serve while hot.
• Pre-roast the sweet potatoes for 25 minutes and store covered with cling wrap in the fridge. Reheat at 200 C for 5-10 minutes then sprinkle with the crumbs just before serving. You can make the topping ahead of time too and store in an airtight container.

ROASTED SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE WITH PECAN CRUMBLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Combine sweet potatoes and oil in a bowl and toss to coat. Lay on a shallow baking sheet.
• Roast until slightly charred, about 45 minutes, turning regularly to prevent burning on the bottom.
• While potatoes are roasting, combine 1/3 cup brown sugar and flour in a medium-sized bowl. Add 3 tablespoons butter and cut into the dry ingredients. Stir in pecans until evenly mixed. Set crumble mixture aside.
• Combine 1/3 cup brown sugar, remaining 7 tablespoons butter, eggs, evaporated milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt, cloves, and nutmeg in a large mixing bowl. Set aside until potatoes are done roasting.
• Remove potatoes from oven and reduce heat to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Transfer sweet potatoes to the brown sugar mixture in the large mixing bowl. Toss until well combined.
• Spoon sweet potato mixture into a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish. Top with crumble mixture, distributing evenly to form a crust.
• Bake in the hot oven until lightly browned on top, 30 to 40 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

WHIPPED SWEET POTATOES AND BANANAS WITH HONEY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Prick the sweet potatoes all over with a fork, put them in a roasting pan and roast for 30 minutes. Toss the bananas into the pan and continue roasting for 10 to 15 minutes, until both the bananas and potatoes are very soft. Remove the pan from the oven but don't turn the oven off.
• When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, scoop out the flesh into a large mixing bowl. Peel the bananas and add them to the bowl along with 1 stick of the butter, and the honey. Season with salt and beat vigorously with a wooden spoon until everything's well combined and the mixture is fluffy. Spoon into an oven-proof serving bowl and smooth the top.
• In a separate mixing bowl, use your fingers to rub together the remaining stick of butter, the brown sugar, flour, and pecans until the mixture is the consistency of coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the crumb mixture over the sweet potatoes and return to the oven. Cook for about 20 minutes, until the crumbs are golden. Serve hot.

• Transfer the ramekins to a baking sheet and bake on the middle oven rack until the fruit bubbles around the sides and the tops are golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven.
• Turn the oven to broil, put the baking sheet with the ramekins on the top oven rack and broil until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Let cool about 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream.

Top with remaining potato slices; arrange several banana slices on top. Sprinkle with remaining sugar mixture; dot with remaining butter and pour on rest of orange juice. Bake 45 minutes or until bubbly.

MISO ROASTED SWEET POTATO WITH BENNE SEED BUTTER AND COLLARD GREEN FURIKAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper.
• Rinse the collard greens and thoroughly dry them in a salad spinner or by patting them with a paper towel. Toss the greens with 1 1/2 teaspoons avocado oil and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Lay them in a single layer on one of the prepared sheet pans. Bake until lightly browned and crispy, 15 to 18 minutes. Cool the collards on the sheet pan. Raise the oven temperature to 425 degrees F.
• Heat 1/4 cup avocado oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallot and ginger and cook until they begin to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the fried shallots and ginger with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel to drain. Add the miso to the skillet and mix it into the infused oil. Remove from the heat.
• Use a pastry brush to coat all sides of the sweet potatoes with the miso-oil mixture. Sprinkle the potatoes with salt and pepper to taste and place on the second prepared sheet pan. Roast until the potatoes are fork-tender, 30 to 40 minutes.
• Put the benne seeds in a medium skillet and toast over low heat, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Combine 1 tablespoon of the toasted benne seeds, the red pepper flakes and the fried shallot and ginger in a small bowl. Gently crumble the crispy collard greens into the mixture.
• Blend the remaining toasted benne seeds in a food processor until smooth and runny. Season with salt to taste.
• Transfer the hot roasted sweet potatoes to a serving plate. Drizzle with some of the benne seed butter (store any leftover butter in an airtight glass container). Garnish with the collard green furikake and serve hot. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place a rack in the middle of the oven and another in the lower third.
