MOLASSES HORSERADISH SWEET POTATO SPEARS

Steps:

• Put oven rack in lower third of oven and preheat oven to 450°F.

• While potatoes roast, bring butter, molasses, horseradish (with juice), and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt to a boil in a small heavy saucepan, stirring, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened and reduced to about 3/4 cup, about 5 minutes.
