How to Make Honeyed Sweet Potatoes
- Peel and cube 2 pounds of sweet potatoes into 1-inch pieces.
- Place sweet potatoes in a large saucepan and add enough lightly salted water to cover.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
- Drain the sweet potatoes thoroughly.
- While the sweet potatoes simmer, prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup honey, 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter (or margarine), and 1 teaspoon ground ginger.
- Bring the glaze to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is dissolved.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Transfer the cooked sweet potatoes to a greased 2-quart baking dish.
- Pour the honey glaze evenly over the sweet potatoes, ensuring they are well coated.
- Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and the glaze is caramelized, basting occasionally with the pan juices.
- Serve warm as a delicious and healthy side dish.
