Ingredients

Sweets

  • 4 Digs orange sweet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Kosher salt

Whipped honey butter

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of flaky salt, plus more to finish

Steps

  1. Heat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment.

  2. Scrub the sweets, pat them dry, and prick each one a few times with a fork. Rub with olive oil and a pinch of salt.

  3. Bake on the sheet for 50–60 minutes, until the skins are crackly and a knife slides in easily.

  4. While they bake, whip the butter, honey, cinnamon and a pinch of salt with a hand mixer or whisk until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

  5. Split each sweet down the middle, fluff the insides with a fork, and add a big spoonful of honey butter.

  6. Finish with flaky salt and serve hot.
