I am loving this flavor combination—the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes, roasted with a tangy glaze of melted butter and aged balsamic vinegar. Tart, sweet, tender and utterly delicious. The sweet potatoes are cut into wedges, tossed in the balsamic glaze, and baked until irresistibly tender. Tossed with sliced scallions for a touch of color and a bit of pepperiness, this side dish will become one of your family’s favorites.

Balsamic-Glazed Sweet Potato Wedges
Ingredients:
- 3 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed and ends trimmed, cut into ½-inch wedges
- 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 Tablespoons aged balsamic vinegar
- Salt & pepper
- 4 scallions, ends trimmed, sliced
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add in the balsamic vinegar and cook over medium heat, stirring often, for 3 minutes, or until the glaze reduces and becomes thicker.
- Place the potato wedges in a large bowl and toss with the balsamic glaze. Season the potatoes with ½ teaspoon salt and a ¼ teaspoon of black pepper. Toss the mixture together.
- On a large parchment-lined baking sheet lay the glazed wedges in a single layer. Roast for 35-40 minutes, or until the potato wedges are tender. Toss with the sliced scallions and serve warm.
