CARMELIZED ROASTED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• In a large bowl add sweet potatoes, 4 tablespoons of maple syrup, 4 tablespoons of the olive oil, 2 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper. Mix to evenly coat the potatoes. Set aside.
• In a large skillet over low heat, add 3-4 tablespoons olive oil until heated. Add the sliced onions. Saute, stirring every so often for 20 minutes or until they caramelize. (NOTE: it is very important to saute the onions over low heat, to avoid them from burning). Once they are caramelized, add the remaining 3 to 4 tablespoons maple syrup and the balsamic vinegar. Stir to mix flavors. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue sauteing until onions are dark golden brown and fully caramelized, about 5-10 minutes more. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if pan becomes dry. (Refer to Tidbit below).
• Arrange sweet potatoes on a sheet tray. Roast for about 25 to 30 minutes. Mid-way through cooking, lift and turn-over potatoes to brown evenly. Dot caramelized onions over the roasted sweet potato cubes. With a spatula, lift and turn-over potatoes again to evenly distribute onion mixture. Roast for an additional 5 - 8 minutes until potatoes are cooked through and slightly browned. Taste for seasoning.
• Transfer to serving tray and enjoy!
• Tidbit: Note that onions will cook down alot; decreasing the volume. Depending on the power of your stove top and the amount of onions you have in the pan, it may take a longer time for onions to be fully carmelized. They should be dark (not burned) and cooked way down.
• Another tidbit: If not using freshly ground pepper in this recipe, it makes a big enough difference. The store prepared ground doesn't have as much depth.

• Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, melt butter and add remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the sliced onion, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Saute until deep golden brown, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if the pan becomes dry.

CARAMELIZED ONION & ROASTED GARLIC PARMESAN MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Add the avocado oil to a large non-stick skillet and heat to medium-high. Add the chopped onions and sprinkle liberally with sea salt. Cover the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions leach a lot of their liquid, turn translucent and have softened.
• Remove the cover from the skillet and reduce the heat to medium or medium-low. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the onions are brown and caramelized, about 50 to 60 minutes total.
• Cut the top off of the bulb of garlic and place it on a sheet of foil. Drizzle with avocado oil then wrap the bulb in the foil so that it's fully covered. Roast at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the garlic cloves are deeply golden-brown. Remove garlic from the oven and set aside until ready to use.
• Once the garlic is cool enough to handle, turn the bulb upside down over a cutting board and squeeze it to release all of the cloves. The cloves should squeeze out relatively easily. Chop up the cloves into finer pieces.
• Bring a pot of water to a boil on the stove top. Peel and chop the potatoes into 3-inch chunks (or roughly equal sized chunks) and transfer to the boiling water. Cook at a continuous boil until the potatoes are very soft when poked with a fork, about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes into a colander, then transfer them back into the same pot you used for boiling.
• Add the buttermilk, parmesan cheese, butter, and sea salt to the pot with the hot cooked potatoes and mash using a potato masher until the potatoes reach your desired consistency. Taste the mashed potatoes for flavor and add more sea salt, parmesan cheese, and/or butter to taste.
• Add the caramelized onions and chopped roasted garlic to the pot and stir well to combine.
• Serve with your main dish and enjoy!
