Time 1h35m

Yield 4 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 strips bacon
3 scallions, chopped, 2 tablespoons reserved for garnish
2 tablespoons maple syrup
4 ounces smoked Cheddar, shredded (about 1 1/4 cups)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

CANDIED SWEET POTATOES WITH MAPLE SYRUP



Candied Sweet Potatoes with Maple Syrup image

I created these candied sweet potatoes with maple syrup to entice my young children to eat sweet potatoes. They didn't like them plain and none of us liked recipes using marshmallows, pineapple, etc. This slightly-sweet version fit the bill. The kids are grown-up now, but still request this be served every Thanksgiving.

Maple Candied Sweet Potatoes image

Here's a simple way prepare a favorite Thanksgiving side. Just bake the potatoes, peel and slice, then drench them in a butter-cider-maple syrup mixture that's been seasoned with cinnamon, cloves and orange zest. Bake until bubbly and the edges brown.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     easy, side dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 large sweet potatoes (3 1/2 pounds)
1/3 cup maple syrup
1/3 cup apple cider
3 tablespoons butter
1 cinnamon stick
2 whole cloves
1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest

Steps:

  • To cook the sweet potatoes, wash them and prick all over with a fork. Wrap in foil and bake in a 375-degree oven until very tender. This can take anywhere from 50 minutes to 1 1/2 hours, depending upon the girth of the potato. Thinner ones cook more quickly. Cool. Peel just before using.
  • Heat oven to 400 degrees.
  • In a small pot, combine syrup, cider, butter, cinnamon, cloves and orange zest. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until somewhat thickened, about 15 minutes. Pour syrup over sliced sweet potatoes and bake, uncovered, until bubbling and brown, 25 to 40 minutes.

Tips:

  • For perfectly tender and fluffy sweet potatoes, pierce them with a fork before baking. This allows steam to escape, preventing the potatoes from becoming tough.
  • To enhance the natural sweetness of the sweet potatoes, brush them with a mixture of melted butter, maple syrup, and cinnamon before baking. This will create a caramelized crust that is both flavorful and visually appealing.
  • If you are short on time, you can microwave the sweet potatoes before baking them. This will reduce the baking time significantly.
  • To make sure the sweet potatoes are cooked through, insert a toothpick or skewer into the center of the potato. If it comes out clean, the potato is done.
  • Baked sweet potatoes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat them in the microwave or oven before serving.

Conclusion:

Baked sweet potatoes with maple syrup are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are a good source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. With their naturally sweet flavor and tender texture, baked sweet potatoes are a favorite among both adults and children. Whether you serve them plain or topped with your favorite ingredients, baked sweet potatoes are sure to be a hit.
