Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to broil with rack on second notch, about seven inches from element. Whip together the butter, honey and cinnamon; taste and adjust; set aside. Puncture potatoes in several places with the tip of a knife and microwave for 6 to 8 minutes, or until cooked through and tender.

Carefully remove and split the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise when cool enough to handle. Cut deep into sweet potato but without cutting completely through, making crosswise cuts. Brush cut sides of sweet potato with half of the cinnamon butter, drizzle each with syrup and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place under broiler, cut side up, for about 4 to 5 minutes, or until browned and sugars begin to caramelize, keeping a constant eye on them. Brush with remaining cinnamon butter and serve.
