INGREDIENTS

Honey
Bake
Ham
Add Ingredient

4 small to medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed (about 1.5 pounds)
⅛ cup honey
2 teaspoons frank's hot sauce
Salt and black pepper
2 to 3 ounces goat cheese or blue cheese, softened
⅛ cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 4 pats
¼ cup roasted, salted pecans, coarsely chopped
Finely chopped rosemary or sage, for topping
Add Ingredient

8 slices of bacon
1 lb brussels sprouts
2 tbsp bacon fat
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp rice vinegar
1/4 tsp ginger, minced
Add Ingredient

PREPARATION

Step 1 of 12

5m

Heat oven to 425 degrees and line a large rimmed sheet pan with foil. Pierce the potatoes all over with a fork and place them along the edges of the pan (where it gets the hottest).

Step 2 of 12

1h 30m

Bake until tender and reduced in size, 1 to 1 ¼ hours. A fork should pierce through the largest potato’s center easily. Remove the pan from the oven and leave on the counter to finish steaming, about 15 minutes.

Step 3 of 12

5m

Preheat your oven to 425 F. Meanwhile, cut the sprouts in half.

Step 4 of 12

10m

To prepare the bacon, lay the bacon in a pan along with just enough water to cover the slices. Cook the bacon over medium-high heat until the water evaporates, flipping occasionally for even cooking. Once crispy, set the slices aside and reserve the rendered bacon fat.

Step 5 of 12

30m

In a large bowl, combine together the prepared sprouts, rendered bacon fat, and ground black pepper. Gently toss until the sprouts are fully coated. Lay the sprouts cut-side down (flat side) in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking tray. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the sprouts are visibly charred and the centre is tender.

Step 6 of 12

5m

Slather the honey on the ham

Step 7 of 12

1h

Bake on 350 for 1 hour

Step 8 of 12

10m

Meanwhile, pour the honey in a small saucepan. Heat the honey over medium, stirring occasionally, until bubbling. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until slightly reduced, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the hot sauce and season with black pepper. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 9 of 12

6m

While the sprouts are roasting, prepare the ginger-garlic sauce by combining the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic and ginger together until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary. Take the reserve crispy bacon slices from earlier, and roughly chop into smaller pieces.

Step 10 of 12

3m

To a large bowl, add the goat cheese, heavy cream and a pinch of salt. Whisk the mixture by hand or with an electric mixer until smooth, thick and the consistency of sour cream, 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 11 of 12

2m

When the potatoes have cooled slightly, slice each in half lengthwise without cutting through the bottom. Then, using both hands, gently pinch the bottoms up to push out some of the potato flesh. Season with salt. To assemble, top each potato with a pat of butter, a dollop of goat-cheese whipped cream, some nuts, a generous drizzle of hot honey and a sprinkle of rosemary.

Step 12 of 12

2m

Once the sprouts are roasted, toss the sprouts along with the crispy bacon bits to combine and drizzle the ginger-garlic sauce on top. Taste and season the sprouts with additional salt and/or pepper if needed. Enjoy!
