The holidays are here and we couldn’t be more excited! (I mean, what’s better than Thanksgiving dinner?) In honor of the season, we decided to ask our Sifted chefs for their favorite holiday recipes. Without further ado here is Chef Dylan’s recipe for Maple Glazed Sweet Potatoes.
A Note from the Chef
"Certain flavors remind me of the holidays and I choose recipes that do just that, with a twist to give a little elevation to the presentation and taste-buds. Sweet potatoes were always my go to as a kid. I would pick them over the mashed potatoes every time. The sweetness is a perfect accompaniment for the earthy Thanksgiving day turkey." - Seattle Chef Dylan
