Sweet Potato Recipe

Is anyone looking for a sweet potato recipe that isn't swimming in butter and shellacked with sugar? I invented this yummy recipe last week and thought I'd share it just in time for Thanksgiving dinner. Moved over pureed sweet potato mush... your more shapely, grown-up cousin has arrived!

Roasted Cranberry Sweet Potatoes
5 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1" cubes
olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2-1 cup whole cranberry sauce (depends on how sweet you like them)

  • Place sweet potatoes on a sprayed cookie sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper to taste and toss to coat.
  • Roast in 450* oven for about 40 minutes or til' almost cooked through (still a little firm).
  • Combine cranberry sauce with orange juice and toss with sweet potatoes.
  • Roast 10 minutes longer
  • Devour.
*Add orange zest for extra flavor
*Makes 6-8 servings
