ginger sweet potatoes en papillote
I love to make parchment paper packets full of delicious veggies and herbs. When you open the packet, the aroma is wonderful. Don't be intimidated by the technique because it's really not that difficult! It really cuts down on the clean-up, also.

How To Make ginger sweet potatoes en papillote
-
Step 1Place oven rack in center position and preheat oven to 400 degrees.
-
Step 2Spread the butter on center of parchment paper to form a 12 inch circle.
-
Step 3Place sweet potato slices just to the right or left of the center and arrange to assure no more than a two slice thickness.
-
Step 4Sprinkle with minced ginger and cinnamon (and brown sugar if using.)
-
Step 5Now, the fun part (and it should be fun; don't sweat it if it's not perfect.)
-
Step 6Turn the paper so that the empty half of the paper is closest to you, then fold it over the potatoes.
-
Step 7Beginning with either side, make a fold about 1/2 to 3/4 inch wide along the length. Repeat (same side.)
-
Step 8Holding the fold, go up about an inch and fold again; repeat moving and folding all the way around to the end (you will have a half-moon shape when finished.)
-
Step 9Place on baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes. (Do NOT use toaster oven!)
-
Step 10Remove from oven (packets will be inflated) and either cut the packets open with knife or kitchen shears or unfold and tear. Be careful of the steam! (It will smell great!)
-
Step 11Refrigerate any leftovers.
