Japanese Sweet Potatoes With Sour Orange
March 31, 2026
Roasted until deeply caramelized and impossibly tender, these Sweet Potatoes are finished with a bright, savory compound butter made with Sour Orange Zest and Green Garlic. A final squeeze of Citrus and a pinch of flaky Salt bring everything into balance — rich, sweet, tangy, and just a little bit smoky from the oven.
