Baked Sweet Potatoes with Chipotle-Honey Butter

I love baked sweet potatoes, but wanted something sweet/smoky to serve them with. Whipped these up to try and they are a great combination - and even better with BBQ!

Step: 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Pierce sweet potatoes several times with a fork and place onto a baking sheet.

Step: 2

Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are tender, about 45 minutes.

Step: 3

While potatoes bake, combine butter, chipotle peppers, honey, salt, and pepper in a food processor. Blend well until smooth. Transfer butter to a bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve with baked potatoes.

The most obvious way to choose a side dish is to caught at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and choose more different. When you’re cooking pasta, go for a simple vegetable . Making steak? Go for something light. If you’re making stir-fry with rice, it must not a best idea to also make a rice salad.

This also can apply to cooking method . You don’t want to overcommit your oven by scheduling three dishes at once in there, or be rounding four pans on the stovetop . But often you can make a dish do double-duty .
