Baked Sweet Potatoes with Citrus
Serves 2

Sometimes you just really don’t need to pull your fancy pants on. Mind you I often veer far from this idea with my kitchen antics—but simple recipes like this one bring me back down to earth. There are no frills, or gimmicks, or components you’ve never heard of. Just simple ingredients, easy prep, and spot on flavor combinations. I opted to use pistachios instead of almonds or pecans because I personally think that oranges and pistachios compliment one another extremely well. (“Oh Pistachio, you do flatter me so!” “No, no Orange, you are too kind, too kind!”)

INGREDIENTS

2 small sweet potatoes

1/4 cup chopped toasted almonds or pecans

dash cinnamon

dash freshly grated nutmeg

flaky sea salt

2 orange wedges

INSTRUCTIONS

Step One: Heat oven to 400 degrees. Prick sweet potatoes with a fork and wrap in foil.

Step Two: Bake until tender, about 1 hour. Unwrap and split top with a knife.

Step Three: Top with almonds, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Squeeze orange wedges over sweet potatoes and serve.
