I wish I could give this recipe zero stars. It was the worst thing I've ever tasted.

This recipe was a disaster! The sweet potatoes were mushy, and the glaze was too thick. I would not recommend this recipe.

The sweet potatoes were a bit undercooked for my liking. I would recommend cooking them for a few minutes longer.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less brown sugar.

I'm not a fan of pears, so I used apples instead. It was still very good!

I made a few changes to the recipe, but it still turned out great. I used honey instead of brown sugar, and I added a bit of cinnamon. It was a delicious and healthy side dish.

This recipe was a hit! The sweet potatoes and pears complemented each other perfectly, and the brown sugar glaze added a delicious caramelized flavor. I served it with a side of roasted chicken, and it was a perfect fall meal.
