tips & techniques
step-by-step
instructions
1 Prepare & roast the sweet potatoes

Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Halve the sweet potatoes lengthwise; cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces. Line a sheet pan with foil. Transfer the sweet potato pieces to the foil. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat; arrange in an even layer. Roast 21 to 23 minutes, or until lightly browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Transfer to a large bowl.

2 Prepare the remaining ingredients

Meanwhile, roughly chop the walnuts. Pick the sage leaves off the stems; thinly slice the leaves.

3 Make the sauce & serve your dish

Once the potatoes have roasted about 15 minutes, in a medium pan, heat the butter on medium-high until melted. Once melted, cook, stirring constantly, 2 to 3 minutes, or until the foam subsides and the butter is fragrant (it should smell nutty and toasted). Add the chopped walnuts and sliced sage; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until lightly browned. Add the vinegar (carefully, as it may splatter) and maple syrup. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until thoroughly combined and slightly thickened. Turn off the heat Transfer to the bowl of roasted sweet potatoes; toss to coat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Enjoy!
