This is the perfect side dish for your Thanksgiving dinner. It is easy to put together, has a unique presentation and above all tastes amazing. Pairs well with turkey, lamb or pork and can stand proud as a vegan or vegetarian dish.
Ingredients:
- 800 grams sweet potatoes
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon Côte d’Azur 2.0 chili paste, or your favourite
- 2 Tablespoons real Maple Syrup
- 1 Tablespoon white miso paste
- 1 Tablespoon kosher salt
- 1/3 toasted chopped pecans, pistachios, walnuts or hazelnuts
- 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400F
- Using a thin slice mandoline, slice the sweet potatoes into discs and transfer to a shallow dish.
- Mix together the olive oil, vinegar, 2.0, maple syrup, salt and miso paste.
- Pour the mixture over the potato slices and using your hands, mix well so the slices are all coated with the oil mixture.
- Stand the slices upright in a small baking dish, keeping it tight without gaps. Pour any excess oil mixture over the top and bake for 1 hour.
- To serve, sprinkle with the chopped nuts and if using the Parmesan, sprinkle it over and broil for about 1 minute until golden. Serve hot.
