Candied Sweet Potatoes

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Bake for 1 hour, stirring the potatoes every 20 minutes. After the first 20 minutes, cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.
