Maple Sweet Potatoes With Crispy Almonds and Sage

By Noor Murad

Drizzled with maple syrup and roasted until caramelized, these sweet potatoes make an easy autumnal side dish to serve as part of a larger festive spread, and can be served both warm or at room temperature. If getting ahead, make the crunchy, garlicky almond-and-sage topping well in advance to be spooned on top when needed. Be sure not to walk away when frying the garlic, as it can quickly turn bitter if over-fried, so stir often and adjust the heat as necessary.
