Рецепт Maple Cinnamon Orange Sweet Potatoes
Maple Cinnamon Orange Sweet PotatoesThese sweet and orangey flavored candied sweet potatoes are so good, you'll think they're taboo--but don't tell anyone they're healthy and good for you!
I've always loved sweet potatoes--even before they became all the rage for health!
Mainly, I just throw them in the oven and bake them with the jackets on and eat them au naturel. That's how much I love them!
Sinfully deliciousI just love the flavor of orange and cinnamon together. I combined the two flavors in my Cinnabon Rolls with Orange Kist Icing, and thought it would work well for sweet potatoes too.
I had an orphan orange in the veggie crisper that I wanted to use before I ended up throwing it out--story of my life. So I zested it and used it in this. For sweetness, I added maple syrup instead of the more common brown sugar. I like the taste of maple syrup--heck I LOVE the taste of maple syrup!
Tried grilling them too since I grill to excess in the summertime. These were a total success and one experiment that has become a keeper.
All natural and good for youIn the months you can't grill, just switch out your BBQ grill for your inside broiler. Easy peasy.
Maple Cinnamon Orange Sweet Potatoes
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled & cut into 1/2-inch slices
- 2 tbs olive oil
- oil for grill
- Glaze:
- 1/2 cup maple syrup -OR- good-quality pancake syrup
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbs grated orange zest
Preheat grill to medium heat. Oil grill grates--I wad up some paper towels and pour oil on them then rub across grill grate. I've also used a dollar store pump spray bottle filled with oil, but find the towel method easier.
Brush potato slices with the 2 tbs olive oil. Place on grill and cook for 3 minutes each side--this is approximate. You want the potatoes to be almost done when you brush on the glaze.
When potatoes are just done, brush the side facing up liberally with glaze; turn and grill 2-3 minutes. Repeat with the other side. Watch them carefully and don't let them burn!
Remove to serving platter.
Serves 3-4
