Brown Sugar Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Description
This recipe begins by peeling and cubing sweet potatoes and tossing them with brown sugar, olive oil, softened butter, cinnamon, ground ginger, and salt. The butter enriches the flavor and helps create slight caramelization during roasting. The sweet and warming spices highlight the natural sweetness of the potatoes.
Roasting on a parchment-lined baking sheet ensures easy cleanup and prevents sticking, especially important with brown sugar-based coating. The potatoes roast for 35 to 40 minutes, being stirred once halfway through to promote even cooking and browning. The result is a tender interior with edges that develop a caramelized texture.
The sweet potatoes can be served as a side dish for meals that benefit from a touch of sweetness and spice, such as roasted meats or holiday dinners. The recipes' use of common pantry spices and straightforward technique make it accessible and adaptable.
Using parchment paper helps prevent the brown sugar from sticking to the pan and simplifies cleanup.
