For the Chestnut Glaze

1 cup roasted chestnuts

shelled

1 cup whole milk

2 tablespoons sugar

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Fresh parsley leaves

Preparation

Prepping the Sweet Potatoes

Wash and Peel

Wash and peel the sweet potatoes.

Cube Potatoes

Cut them into uniform cubes for even cooking.

Season Potatoes

Toss the cubed potatoes with sesame oil and salt until well coated.

Preparing the Chestnut Glaze

Combine Chestnuts and Milk

Place the roasted chestnuts in a small saucepan with milk.

Add Sweeteners

Add sugar and butter to the mixture.

Heat and Stir

Slowly heat on low, stirring until the chestnuts soften further.

Do not let the milk boil to prevent curdling. Use a blender for a smoother glaze after the chestnuts soften.

Cooking Process

Roasting the Sweet Potatoes

Arrange on a baking sheet and roast at 375°F (190°C) for 45 minutes until tender.

Blending the Glaze

Blend the chestnut mixture until silky smooth, adjusting consistency with additional milk if necessary.

Combining Everything

Pour the chestnut glaze over warm roasted sweet potatoes before serving.
