CANDIED SWEET POTATOES

These perfect candied sweet potatoes are soft, buttery, extra saucy, caramelized, and sweet. I especially love this Thanksgiving side dish because you can prepare the elements of this recipe ahead of time AND purchase the ingredients in advance, too.

Categories     Dinner

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

5-6 medium sweet potatoes (3-4 lbs)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick; 115g) unsalted butter
2 Tablespoons (30ml) water
1/4 cup (60ml) pure maple syrup
1 cup (200g) packed light or dark brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
optional: 2 teaspoons orange zest
optional for garnish: chopped fresh or dried rosemary, sea salt

Steps:

  • Peel then slice the sweet potatoes into 1/2 inch thick slices. Place in a greased 9×13 inch or other 3 quart baking dish. Sprinkle salt on top and toss to coat. I just use nonstick spray to grease.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F (191°C).
  • Cut stick of butter in half. (Helps it melt easier.) Combine all the butter, water, maple syrup, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger into a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir until the butter has melted. Stop stirring and bring to a gentle boil. Boil for 2 minutes without stirring. Remove sauce from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. (And orange zest, if using.)
  • Pour sauce over potatoes and toss to coat.
  • Bake for 1 hour, stopping and stirring the sweet potatoes every 20 minutes. After the first 20 minutes, I cover the dish with aluminum foil so the potatoes bake evenly.
  • Remove from the oven, sprinkle with rosemary and sea salt (if using), then cool uncovered for 10 minutes before serving. The sauce is thin right out of the oven but thickens as it cools.
  • Cover and store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Sauce will be thick after refrigeration, but thins out as you warm the leftovers up. Simply warm in the microwave.

GRAMMA'S GLAZED CANDIED SWEET POTATO SLICES



Gramma's Glazed Candied Sweet Potato Slices image

This is the recipe my gramma used to make, passed down to my mom and all of my 7 siblings. It takes times so grab yourself a cocktail and relax. It's worth the wait! One potato generally is enough for 1-2 people. Select sweet potatoes that are uniform in diameter. I do not like to use really chubby ones. I prefer to use an electric frying pan because it has the most even cooking temperature.

Provided by Chicagoland Chef du

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 1h40m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

3 -4 sweet potatoes, medium with peels on, cut off ends if desired
1/2 cup butter
1 1/2-2 cups light brown sugar

Steps:

  • Submerge potatoes in water. Bring to a boil & simmer until they are a cooked a little more than half way through. Check with a tooth pick.
  • *** It is important to NOT overcook because they will continue to cook when simmering in the brown sugar glaze.
  • When done boiling, pour off all the hot water and run cold water over them until they are cooled off. Do this as quickly as possible, running and changing the water until the potatoes are completely cold. This may take a few minutes. Drain. They can now rest for hours if need be.
  • In an electric skillet, slowly melt butter until completely melted.
  • Add enough light brown sugar to absorb all the butter.
  • (I am not 100% of the amount listed above). Continue to use a low/medium heat until all the brown sugar melts and is no longer grainy. This can take up to an hour. You can let it bubble a bit around the edges but not too hard. Continually stirring w/ a spatula.
  • In the mean time: peel your potatoes. I do this GENTLY with a paring knife.
  • Slice thickly at least 3/4". If you cut them too thin, they will fall apart while cooking. Set aside in single layers.
  • Once the sugar is ready & gooey, no longer grainy, place the slices, one by one, side by side, in the skillet. DO NOT move them around until ready to flip.
  • When the edges of the slices are gathering a candy coating and darkening, flip them. The 2nd side will not take as long to cook.
  • Gently lift out and place in a single layer on a warmed serving platter. I use a pie server to serve.

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.

Provided by Yewande Komolafe

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 and evenly-shaped sweet potatoes for roasting.
  • To achieve crispy skin and tender insides, poke the sweet potatoes with a fork before roasting.
  • For a more flavorful glaze, use a combination of brown sugar, lime juice, and butter.
  • If you don't have fresh lime juice, you can substitute lemon juice.
  • To prevent the glaze from burning, baste the sweet potatoes every 10-15 minutes during roasting.
  • Serve the glazed sweet potatoes hot with a sprinkle of chopped fresh cilantro or parsley.

Conclusion:

Glazed sweet potatoes with brown sugar and lime are a delicious and easy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With their sweet and tangy flavor, these sweet potatoes are sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
