A Note from Feedfeed
Sweet potatoes are roasted, then the flesh is scooped and mashed with Frontier Co-Op Ceylon Cinnamon and Organic Vanilla Extract. Stock your spice cabinet with Frontier’s Ceylon cinnamon, sometimes referred to as "true cinnamon," to bring a more delicate and sweet flavor to baked goods or fragrant stews than other varieties. Frontier’s Vanilla Extract is made with no added sugars and has a sweet buttery finish which is ideal for all of your holiday baking needs or as an unexpected floral aroma for these sweet potatoes! Spooned back into their jackets and topped with cinnamon and maple pecans, a creamy tahini drizzle and garnished with fresh herbs, these potatoes make a statement on any holiday table. To garnish like a pro, use a mixture of herbs, maybe keep a few leaves whole and don’t think too much about it. An effortless sprinkle of flakey salt and herbs before serving is all you need to make these pop!
