Instructions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Scrub sweet potatoes and cut them lengthwise into quarters or halves. Place in a baking dish roomy enough to hold them in a single layer.

Combine rest of ingredients except sesame seeds. Brush all of resulting sauce over sweet potatoes, then cover dish tightly with foil. Bake until nearly tender, 50 minutes to an hour. Remove foil, baste sweet potatoes with their juices, and return to oven until liquid has reduced to a glaze and potatoes are fully tender, 15 to 20 minutes longer. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve.
