The book for our March Cookbook Club was Dining In by Alison Roman, which aims to provide simple yet compelling recipes that make you want to cook and eat in. To see everything we dined on, go to my Cookbook Club site. For now – my dish!

When I think of sweet potatoes, what comes to mind is the Thanksgiving casserole topped with marshmallow goo that is more tooth-achingly sweet than most of the desserts. If you can’t tell… not a favorite of mine. But when I saw this Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Hot Honey Browned Butter recipe, I thought it might be a dish that could change my mind about sweet potatoes.

I poked the sweet potatoes all over with a fork and roasted them until I could see sugar caramelizing on the poked spots.

When the sweet potatoes were almost done, I swirled butter in a pot over medium heat until it started to bubble and brown.

I stirred in honey, apple cider vinegar, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper and removed from the heat.

I slit the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise, poured the browned butter mixture over them, and sprinkled with flaky sea salt.
