Holiday Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Honey, Blue Cheese & Crisp Sage

Delicious Fall recipe- Roasted Sweet Potatoes w/ Honey, Blue Cheese & Sage, AC Art Of Food

Can you believe Thanksgiving is right around the corner....again!  The year goes by so fast, but   just in time to sit side-by-side with the featured holiday turkey is my amazingly delicious  Roasted Sweet Potatoes w/ Honey, Blue Cheese & Crisp Sage!  The mildly sweet root vegetable amped up with sweetness from local honey, a bit of sharp creaminess from the pungent blue cheese crumbles, and all balanced out with the subtle earthiness from the ground sage herb.(6/2017) 

This is indeed a super easy, super simple dish with a beautiful presentation that will jazz up any usual Thanksgiving dinner table.  I actually revamped this from a summer post made last year but lends itself to perfection now being in the ideal season.

Now to really spice things up on your table for this dish, try accenting with my recipe for fresh Crisp-Fried Sage Leaves!  It's a quick and simple process that will add an elegant finishing touch to this already amazing dish!  These crispy leaves can be added to almost any casserole dish for added flavor and panache! 

Crisp-fried Sage Leaves are the perfect garnish for this sweet potato dish! AC Art Of Food

Crisp-fried sage leaves

Ingredients:

• 1 bunch fresh sage (approximately 30 leaves), cleaned and separated
• 1⁄4 cup olive oil
• Sea Salt

The Process:

1. In a pan, heat oil in a small skillet on med/high heat until hot.
2. Add sage leaves to pan in batches (as not to overlap in the skillet to crisp properly) for approximately 2 minutes at a time.
3. Remove from pan with slotted spoon or fork and let drain on a paper towel-lined plate immediately sprinkling with sea salt while still bubbling from the oil.
4. Repeat until complete and arrange atop this dish as a crisp finishing touch!
