These roasted orange molasses sweet potatoes offer a sophisticated twist on a classic vegetarian side dish. By simmering fresh orange juice with aromatic zest and rich molasses, you create a deeply flavoured glaze that caramelises beautifully in the oven. The natural sweetness of the potatoes is perfectly balanced by the slight acidity of the citrus and the earthy depth of the syrup, resulting in a vibrant dish that brings both colour and warmth to the dinner table.
Ideal for a Sunday roast or as a festive accompaniment, this recipe is effortless to prepare yet delivers professional results. The high roasting temperature ensures the wedges develop tender interiors and sticky, glazed edges. Serve these alongside roasted meats or as part of a plant-based spread for a nutritious, flavour-packed addition to your meal.
