CITRUS-GLAZED SWEET POTATOES



Citrus-Glazed Sweet Potatoes image

These candied sweet potatoes work as a side dish for any dinner or holiday celebration by balancing citrusy sweet and savory flavors - and they also produce top-notch leftovers. Right out of the oven or the fridge, they are sure to add a pleasantly tart note to any meal. The braising liquid thickens as the tubers cook, resulting in a tangy glaze that coats every bite. Its acidity also helps the sweet potatoes stay intact with a slight bite even as they soften. The thinly sliced orange zest becomes tender and develops a marmalade-like taste. The shiny strips make for a beautiful garnish, along with the syrupy pan sauce.

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 medium oranges
1 lemon
2 limes
3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes (about 9 small)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees (see Tip). Use a vegetable peeler to peel strips of zest off 2 oranges. Cut the strips into thin matchsticks using a sharp knife and transfer to a large bowl. Juice all the oranges, the lemon and limes into the bowl for 1 1/4 cups juice. Whisk in the brown sugar, salt, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and black pepper until the sugar dissolves.
  • Generously peel the sweet potatoes, removing the skin and the tougher layer of flesh just beneath. If your sweet potatoes are larger than 2 inches in diameter, halve or quarter lengthwise. Cut into 1-inch-thick rounds or pieces, add to the citrus mixture and toss to coat.
  • Transfer the sweet potatoes and juice mixture to a 9-by-13-inch shallow glass or ceramic baking dish. Dot the top with the butter. Bake, stirring every 20 to 30 minutes to cook and coat evenly, until the sweet potatoes are tender and glazed, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. A paring knife should slide through the potatoes easily and the glaze should be the consistency of syrup.
  • Let cool for about 10 minutes before serving. The dish can be made ahead and cooled, then wrapped tightly and refrigerated for up to 2 days. Reheat in a 350-degree oven, covered with foil, or in a microwave, covered with a microwave-safe cover or plastic wrap.

Tips:

  • Choose firm, unblemished sweet potatoes and rutabagas for roasting. Avoid tubers that are soft or have any signs of bruising.
  • Cut the sweet potatoes and rutabagas into uniform-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
  • Toss the vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting. This will help them to brown and crisp up.
  • Roast the vegetables at a high temperature (425°F) for about 30 minutes, or until they are tender and caramelized.
  • Add citrus zest and juice to the roasted vegetables before serving for a bright and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Citrus-Roasted Sweet Potato and Rutabaga is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet potatoes, rutabagas, and citrus creates a dish that is both flavorful and nutritious. This dish is also easy to make, making it a great option for busy weeknight dinners.
