Apple Cinnamon Glazed Sweet Potatoes

January 30, 2012

Apple Cinnamon Glazed Sweet Potatoes

We love sweet potatoes. Well, yams actually. They’re full of vitamin A, beta-caroltene, vitamin C, and lots of other good-for-you things! It helps that Emma has adored them since she started eating solid food. This recipe adds a delicious sweet glaze that also makes the house smell wonderful while they cook.

Apple Cinnamon Glazed Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients:

3 sweet potatoes*
3/4 c. apple jelly (or 1/4 c. per potato used)
3/8 tsp. salt (or 1/8 tsp. per potato used)
3/8 tsp. cinnamon (or 1/8 tsp. per potato used)
3 T. butter (or 1 T. per potato used)

* You can use as many or few potatoes as you want. Simply alter the amounts of other ingredients as noted.

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. Peel sweet potatoes (yams) and cut them into 1 inch cubes.
3. Arrange the cubes on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. (Trust me on the parchment!)
4. In a saucepan, combine the glaze ingredients.
5. Heat over low until smooth, stirring occasionally.
6. Brush the potato cubes with 1/2 of the glaze mixture.
7. Bake for 20 minutes.
8. Remove from oven. Stir potatoes to turn them over.
9. Brush potatoes with remaining glaze.
10. Bake for another 20 minutes or until tender.

    No kidding, I have 3 sweet potatoes that I need to use up. This looks like a good recipe to try! I just have to get the apple jelly. I love sweet potatoes and I always like trying out new recipes for them.
