Episode notes
Ditch Marshmallows For Caramelized Sweets
- Skip marshmallows; caramelize sweet potatoes or make hasselback sweet potatoes with butter and brown sugar in the slices.
- Roast slices to get crisp browned edges and soft centers for depth without candy.
Hasselback Sweet Potatoes
- Make hasselback sweet potatoes by slicing most of the way through with chopsticks as guards.
- Stuff the slits with flavored butter or maple-brown sugar mixture and roast until dramatic and browned.
Vegetarian Centerpieces That Satisfy
- For a vegetarian main, make pumpkin ravioli or a roasted, stuffed squash like kabocha filled with flavorful stuffing.
- Roast the stuffed squash, baste with butter and oil, and serve large slices as a satisfying centerpiece.
