When preparing this recipe, start with clean countertops and utensils. Wash hands with soap and water. Wash whole, fresh sweet potatoes by scrubbing with a clean vegetable brush under cold, running water.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound sweet potatoes (sliced ½ inch thick)
- ½ cup orange juice
- 2 Tablespoons brown sugar (or molasses)
- 1 Tablespoon canola oil
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Directions:
- Place sweet potatoes in a medium skillet; cover with water, and bring to a boil. Lower heat, cover, and cook for 10 minutes until soft. Drain and place back in the skillet.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine orange juice, brown sugar, and oil. Add cinnamon (optional).
- Pour the sauce over the cooked potatoes. Cover and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until bubbly. Uncover and gently boil for about 5 minutes until the potatoes are glazed, spooning sauce over potatoes.
