Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, about 1 1/2 pounds
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons sourwood honey
- Kosher salt, for sprinkling
- Rosemary garnish
Instructions
- Place a rack in the center of the oven, and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Scrub the sweet potatoes and pat dry. Cut the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise with a heavy knife. Cut each half into 5 to 6 slices.
- Place a 12-inch skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes or until it nearly smokes. Add the oil and distribute it evenly on the bottom of the skillet with a metal spatula. Turn the heat back to medium, and add the sweet potato slices, one by one, to the skillet. Let cook about 2 minutes, tossing the pan. Turn off the heat. Turn the slices back upright as best you can. Drizzle over the honey and sprinkle with salt.
- Place the skillet in the oven, and bake until the sweet potato wedges are fork-tender, about 20 to 25 minutes.
