Roasting sweet potatoes cut-side down gives them deep caramelization while keeping them extra creamy on the inside. A tangy buttermilk drizzle balances the potatoes' natural sweetness, and a punchy gremolata brings crunch, freshness and just the right amount of citrusy zip. It’s simple but deeply flavorful — the kind of side that makes everything else on the plate taste better. Perfect with roast chicken, spooned over grains or, honestly, eaten straight from the sheet pan.

Directions

  1. Toss 1 1/2 pounds halved fingerling sweet potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil; season with salt. Bake cut-side down at 400 degrees F until tender, 35 to 40 minutes. Whisk 1/4 cup buttermilk with 1/4 teaspoon cumin. In a separate bowl, mix 2 tablespoons chopped parsley, 1 tablespoon each chopped chives and toasted pine nuts and 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest. Top the potatoes with the buttermilk mixture and parsley gremolata.
