When it begins to get cold, I crave foods that will warm and comfort me. Saw a smiliar recipe on VegNews, altered it a little and voila!
warm and perfectly sweet!
INGREDIENTS:
1 tbs coconut oil, melted
Juice of 1 orange
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
3 large sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/4-inch thick
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, combine coconut oil, orange juice, sea salt, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice, and mix until combined.
2. Add sliced potatoes, toss, and transfer to a lightly oiled 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
3. Cover and bake until sweet potatoes are just tender, about 40 minutes. Stir once or twice half-way through to distribute liquid over potatoes.
4. Uncover, and bake until glaze thickens, about 10 to 15 minutes.
5. Cover and keep warm until ready to serve.
*If you don’t have 40 minutes on hand to make this recipe, broil in oven and it will take a shorter amount of time…and may even make them a little more crispy!
*Perfect addition to the Thanksgiving table!
*Add some pecans for an added crunch.
ENJOY!
Be sweet. Be comforted. Be well.
