Part 6/8:
For a more refined, slightly unexpected approach, this roasted sweet potato dish infuses velvety cubes of potatoes with amaretto—a sweet, almond-flavored liqueur. The dish is topped with toasted almonds, creating a beautiful contrast of textures.
Preparation Steps:
Cubing and Tossing: Sweet potatoes are peeled, cubed, and tossed with olive oil, fresh thyme, salt, and pepper. They’re baked covered for 30 minutes, then uncovered to brown.
Flavor Infusion: A splash of amaretto is added during roasting, imparting a subtle almond essence that elevates the natural sweetness.
Final Touch: Once out of the oven, the roasted potatoes are garnished with sliced toasted almonds and a drizzle of fresh lemon juice to enhance brightness.
