Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Maple-Butter Pistachios

You’ll be sweet on these potatoes.

Ingredients:

3 medium sweet potatoes, cut into 3/4-inch coins

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper

1/2 cup chopped raw pistachios (or any nut)

3 tablespoons salted butter

Pinch crushed red pepper

2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey

Grated Pecorino Romano cheese

Minced chives

Squeeze of lime or lemon

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 450°F. On a sheet pan, toss the sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for about 25 minutes, until golden and tender.

2. Meanwhile, in a saucepan combine the pistachios, butter, and crushed red pepper over medium-high heat. Cook until the butter begins to brown, 3 to 4 minutes, then remove from the heat and stir in the maple syrup.

3. Transfer the roasted sweet potatoes to a platter and top with pistachios, grated Pecorino, chives, and a squeeze of lime, then serve.
