Maple Glazed Prosciutto Wrapped Sweet Potatoes
Crispy Maple Glazed Prosciutto Wrapped Sweet Potatoes, a fabulous holiday side dish!
I adore sweet potatoes.
Yet for some reason, I have never been a fan of the traditional marshmallow-topped sweet potato dish most cooks serve around the holidays.
They are usually too sweet and too mushy for my taste.
Therefore every holiday season I make a point to create some sort of untraditional sweet potato dish my family will love…
Hoping they will be so thrilled with what I make, no one will be angry I skipped the marshmallows. *wink*
This year I stumbled upon a huge hit with my family, Maple Glazed Prosciutto Wrapped Sweet Potatoes.
These individually wrapped sweet potato spears are baked to perfection, soft on the inside with crispy prosciutto swirled from tip to tip.
Then a spiced maple glaze is poured over the top to lightly candy-coat both the prosciutto ham and sweet potatoes.
You guys, this is a sweet potato lover’s paradise!
Maple Glazed Prosciutto Wrapped Sweet Potatoes make a marvelous modernized alternative for classic sweet potato casserole.
They have a touch of sweetness, yet it is balanced by a luxurious fatty note from the prosciutto di Parma.
The contrasting textures make this an elegant side dish, or even a gluten free appetizer for parties!
You can pick them up with your fingers and munch away.

These look incredible and I’m champing at the bit to make them this week, but I can’t find the recipe. Did it disappear, or am I missing a link?
Hi Michael,
Oh geez! I have no idea why the coded recipe form was missing, but it’s back now. So sorry about that!

Is there any way to make this ahead of time and then warm them up?
Hi Jenna,
You could definitely make these ahead. Then reheat in the oven at 350 degrees F. :)
