Silan Drizzled Sweet Potatoes

While visiting my daughter in Israel In February we ate at a little cafe in Old Jaffa. I had a delicious dish consisting of wonderfully simple yet perfect ingredients, as most excellent dishes often contain. This was a roasted drizzled with Silan, which is date honey. It’s a wonderful product that adds terrific depth and sweetness. I wanted to recreate the concept here with my own twist. This was so easy and simple to prepare, yet it presented beautifully. Optional crumbled feta for you cheese lovers. Toasted walnut pieces lent a great nutty crunch to balance the sweetness of the potatoes and honey.

Ingredients:

One sweet potato per person, halved length wise.

Silan.

A cup of walnut pieces toasted on a dry skillet until golden brown and fragrant.

Crumbled feta cheese.

Rub the halves with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast face side down on 400 until fully tender and caramelized. Gently turn over the sweet potatoes with a spatula so as not to tear the flesh. Place on a platter. Drizzle each half with the Silan. Top with feta if desired. Sprinkle walnuts on top of each half as well. Could this be any easier?? Now all you gotta do is enjoy.
