How to Make Caramel Sweet Potatoes

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Wash, peel, and cut 2 lbs of sweet potatoes into approximately 1-inch by 1/2-inch pieces.
  3. Generously spray a 9x13 inch glass casserole dish with cooking spray.
  4. Place the sweet potato pieces in the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice. Toss gently to coat.
  5. Dot the sweet potatoes with 1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) of unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces.
  6. Pour 1 cup of your favorite caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade) evenly over the sweet potatoes.
  7. Cover the casserole dish with foil or a lid.
  8. Bake for 45 minutes.
  9. Remove from the oven and carefully remove the foil or lid.
  10. Gently stir to coat all the potatoes with the caramel butter sauce.
  11. Place the uncovered casserole dish under the broiler for 3-5 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning, until the top is slightly caramelized and bubbly.
  12. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
