Your new favorite way to make sweet potatoes.

Food 4 Thought

Making challah is a fabulous opportunity to bring blessing into our lives, our homes, and to all of the Jewish people and the world. You don’t have to be in a house of worship, all squeaky clean, to pray. You can be up to your elbows in thick, sticky dough, with flour on your face, God will hear you. Learn more about separating the challah and harnessing its power.

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.
