Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 2

Lay Sweet Potatoes flat in a 13x9 casserole dish. Sprinkle the sweet potatoes with salt. Set aside.

Step 3

Melt your butter over medium-low heat in a heavy-duty saucepan. Add sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, and stir until your butter has melted and your sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and add the orange juice.

Step 4

Pour the butter mixture over the sweet potatoes, making sure every single sweet potato is covered with the butter. Cover tightly with foil and place in your preheated oven.

Step 5

Bake for 30 minutes with the foil on. After 30 minutes, remove the dish from the oven, remove foil and stir the sweet potatoes. Place back in the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 30 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 6

Remove from the oven and allow the sweet potatoes to cool a bit. Serve and enjoy.
