Ingredients
- 3 to 4 lbs sweet potatoes 5-6 medium sweet potatoes, cut in ½” slices
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 3 Tablespoon water
- 1 cup brown sugar or alternative brown sweetener
- ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon fresh Rosemary
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 F and place sweet potato slices in a 9x13” casserole dish or 3 quart baking dish. Sprinkle with salt and top and toss to coat.
- Add the butter, maple syrup, water, brown sugar, ground cinnamon and nutmeg to a small saucepan, and heat over medium heat, stirring until butter has melted. Stop stirring and bring to simmer, and simmer for 2 minutes without stirring. Remove saucepan from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Pour maple butter sauce over sweet potatoes and toss to coat evenly. Arrange sweet potato slices in 2 layers in the baking dish. Sprinkle with dried rosemary
- Bake for 1 hour, stirring the potatoes every 20 minutes. After the first 20 minutes, cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
- After you remove the candied sweet potatoes from the oven, let them rest and cool for 10 minutes. The sauce will thicken as it cools.
- You can store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Sauce will be thick after refrigeration but it will thin out once warm.
Notes
- Cut the sweet potatoes into similar sized slices so that they cook through evenly.
- Cover the potatoes with foil after 20 minutes of cooking so that the maple doesn't burn.
- The sauce will thicken when you refrigerate the potatoes but will thin out again once reheated.
