Molasses Horseradish Sweet Potato SpearsSang An

We strongly recommend using light-colored metal (including nonstick) shallow baking pans (1 large or 2 small) for this recipe. When we used dark baking pans, the potatoes blackened before they were completely cooked through.

Cooks' note:

Sweet potatoes can be roasted 2 hours ahead. Toss with glaze and reheat just before serving.
