Hetty McKinnon, how I adore your To Asia, With Love cookbook. The latest amazing recipe - baked sweet potatoes with lentils, maple butter, and scallions. Super easy to prepare, incredibly filling, and a range of flavors and textures featured.
The warm sweet potato flesh melts in your mouth, complemented by the subtle sweetness of the melty maple butter. The dish isn't all sweet with some nice sharpness from the fresh scallions and the simple prepared lentils which add more savory, salty notes. The lentils and maple butter can be prepped while the sweet potatoes are baked in the oven, so it's a really easy and healthy weeknight meal.
I've made this recipe twice so far. The only downside is that once, the sweet potato skin was almost burnt, so I had to largely pick around the charred skin parts. So depending on the type of sweet potato, I may need to adjust the temperature + cooking time (~50 minutes so far).
