Baked sweet potatoes with spices and butter are the perfect side dish for the holiday table. Deep incisions are made on the tuber so that it looks like an accordion. In this case, the oblong sweet potato will look even more spectacular. And in order not to accidentally damage the accordion, before cutting, place Chinese sticks or the handle of a wooden spoon close to the tuber, on which the knife will rest. Ingredients: 4 medium sweet potatoes 20 g butter 1 tsp olive oil 1 garlic clove 1 tsp Italian herb blends 0.25 tsp ground black pepper 0.5 tsp coarse sea salt Recipe: Preheat the oven to 220 degrees. Cover the baking dish with food foil. Let's wash the sweet potato. We will make cuts on each tuber at a distance of 3 mm along the entire length of the fruit, without cutting the vegetables down by 2/3. Transfer the vegetables to the prepared baking dish. In a separate bowl, mix melted butter, olive oil, a clove of garlic passed through a press, salt and spices. Using a culinary brush, brush the vegetables with the fragrant oil mixture, pouring it into the cuts. We will send the sweet potato to a preheated oven, we will bake it until soft for 50-60 minutes. Ready sweet potato will be served with a sauce of yogurt and fresh herbs.
