Food 4 Thought

Giving thanks for one’s food has the potential to transform one’s eating into something more than just ensuring physical survival but can be spiritual as well. That’s why Judaism has a system of blessings both before and after we eat, built-in reminders of the good we have in our lives and the importance of expressing gratitude for it. Learn more about how to make eating more spiritual.

This simple, unassuming scallop is both sweet and savory. Using sweet potatoes instead of white makes it a healthier option. As a final bonus, the elegant upright presentation gives the dish some textural interest that’s worthy of any holiday feast.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat a large oven-to-table baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine oil, honey, cinnamon, and rosemary. Add sweet potatoes; sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Stir to coat on all sides.
Arrange sweet potato slices in prepared baking dish by standing them upright in tight rows. You should have parallel lines of sweet potato slices (skin showing) along the length of the dish. Drizzle with any remaining oil mixture.
Bake, covered, for 45 minutes.
Bake, uncovered, an additional 20-30 minutes, until golden and glazed.
