Citrus Spice Balsamic Roasted Sweet Potatoes are sweet potatoes deliciously intensified by roasting them in a glaze made from citrus spice balsamic vinegar.
My love of balsamic vinegar is well documented both in my declarations and by how frequently I use it in my cooking.
At last count I have 16 bottles in my cabinet. My latest acquisition was a bottle of Citrus Spice Balsamic Vinegar.
I was attending a holiday media event for We Olive and Wine Bar in Salt Lake City earlier this month when they sampled this newest item in their family of balsamic vinegars. The best way to describe the flavor of this vinegar is if traditional balsamic vinegar and Christmas had a love child.
After the briefest of moments, or quoting from my favorite holiday movie, the “flashiest of flashes” on my lips, I knew I was bringing a bottle home with me. (Bonus points if you can name the movie).
And so it did, along with 3 of my colleagues/friends.
We each started talking about how we’d used the vinegar. Before we knew it, we had theorized an entire meal, from cocktails to dessert.
Balsamic Roasted Sweet Potatoes
The citrus spice balsamic vinegar definitely tasted like the holidays. Instantly I knew it would be WONDERFUL with sweet potatoes. I never wavered on what to make, just how.
Every way once could think to prepare a sweet potato came to mind. But ultimately, I had to go with roasting them, which would only enhance their natural sweetness.
I’m one of those who loves potato skins, doesn’t matter the spud I love them. I did trim the ends, and, using my vegetable peeler, removed a few questionable spots. If you have strong objections to them, peel them completely and continue on.
I made a quick reduction or glaze in my cast-iron skillet and then generously coated each thickly sliced coin-cut piece. Tossed them on a lined baking sheet and tossed them in a hot oven. I flipped them half way through, but not before giving them another quick basting.

Hi, we’re those four friends and colleagues.
We decided to not just talk the talk but actually create our newly thought up recipe idea.
