Ingredients

Units Scale

Baked Sweet Potatoes

  • 4 sweet potatoes
  • 1-2 cups water

Harvest Honey Butter

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon table salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

Baked Sweet Potatoes

  1. Prepare the potatoes: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Using a sharp knife, cut a 2-inch slit into the top center of each potato.
  2. Add the water: Place the potatoes in a baking dish. Pour in enough water to reach ¼–½ inch up the sides of the potatoes.
  3. Bake the potatoes: Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Harvest Honey Butter

  1. Whip the butter: Add the softened butter to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or use a hand mixer. Beat on low speed for about 1 minute to break up the butter.
  2. Add the remaining ingredients: Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the powdered sugar, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium-high speed for about 3 minutes, until light and fluffy.
  3. Transfer the butter: Spoon the whipped butter into a small bowl or ramekin.
  4. Serve: Remove the baked sweet potatoes from the oven and let cool for at least 5 minutes. Serve each potato with a dollop of Harvest Honey Butter. Enjoy!
