Sensational Sides: Roasted Brown Sugar Glazed Sweet Potato

Ingredients

2 pounds sweet potato, peeled and chopped in thirds
5 cups of water, just enough to cover the potatoes in the pot
2 cups brown sugar
1/2 stick unsalted butter
1/2 tablespoon cinnamon, divided
1 teaspoon nutmeg, divided

Directions

Fill pot with water. Add the brown sugar, 1/2 the cinnamon and nutmeg, and the butter. Cover and bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.

Add the potatoes to the boiling water bring back up to a boil. Reduce to medium and continue to cook until the potatoes are fork tender.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Pour the liquid and the potatoes into a 13 X 9 baking dish.  Sprinkle the potatoes with the remaining cinnamon and nutmeg.

Bake in the preheated oven 15 to 20 minutes, until the potatoes just begin to brown and sauce reduces by about 1/4.

Baste the potatoes with the glaze, serve hot and ENJOY!  This pairs great with any turkey dish, but especially the  my Turkey Loaf Muffins!
