How to Make Baked Sweet Potatoes With Apricots And Prunes
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Lightly oil or spray an 8x8 inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Peel and cube 2 large sweet potatoes (about 1.5 lbs). Place in the prepared pan and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender.
- Meanwhile, combine 1/2 cup dried apricots and 1/4 cup dried prunes in a small heatproof bowl. Cover with boiling water and let stand for 15 minutes.
- Drain the apricots and prunes well.
- In a small saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup honey, 1/4 cup orange juice, 1 tablespoon orange zest, and a pinch of cinnamon.
- Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened (about 2-3 minutes).
- Pour the honey-orange sauce over the baked sweet potatoes. Add the drained apricots and prunes; gently toss to combine.
- Return to the oven and bake uncovered for 5-10 minutes, or until heated through and the sauce is nicely glazed.
