CANDIED SWEET POTATOES



Candied Sweet Potatoes image

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.

Provided by Sally

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.

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.

Categories     Side     Bake     Thanksgiving     Vegetarian     Kid-Friendly     Almond     Sweet Potato/Yam     Bon Appétit     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Soy Free     Small Plates

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 pounds red-skinned sweet potatoes (yams), peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces
2/3 cup packed golden brown sugar
5 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Pinch of ground ginger
2 cups miniature marshmallows
1/2 cup sliced almonds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Arrange potatoes in 13 x 9 x 2-inch glass baking dish. Combine sugar, butter, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg and ginger in heavy small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Pour over potatoes; toss to coat. Cover dish tightly with foil.
  • Bake potatoes 50 minutes. Uncover; bake until potatoes are tender and syrup thickens slightly, basting occasionally, about 20 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 500°F. Top potatoes with marshmallows and nuts. Return to oven; bake until marshmallows begin to melt and nuts begin to brown, about 3 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose firm and evenly shaped kumara (sweet potatoes) for even cooking.
  • Use a sharp knife to peel the kumara. A dull knife can cause the kumara to become bruised and discoloured.
  • Cut the kumara into even-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
  • Soak the kumara in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking to help reduce the starchiness and give the kumara a creamier texture.
  • Use a large saucepan or pot to cook the kumara to prevent overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
  • Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until the kumara is tender. This should take about 15-20 minutes.
  • Drain the kumara and mash it until smooth. You can use a potato masher, a food processor, or a stand mixer.
  • Add the milk, butter, and sugar to the mashed kumara and mix until well combined.
  • Transfer the kumara mixture to a greased baking dish and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
  • Serve the glazed kumara hot with your favourite main course.

Conclusion:

Sugar-glazed kumara is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or a main course. It is a good source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. The sweet and savory glaze gives the kumara a unique and irresistible flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
