How to Make Pineapple Upside Down Sweet Potatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine brown sugar, butter, and pineapple juice. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved and butter is melted.
  3. Arrange pineapple rings evenly in the bottom of the prepared pan. Pour the brown sugar mixture over the pineapple.
  4. Peel and chop sweet potatoes into 1-inch pieces. In a large bowl, toss sweet potatoes with olive oil, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
  5. Arrange sweet potatoes over the pineapple and brown sugar mixture in the pan.
  6. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are tender and slightly caramelized. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before inverting onto a serving platter.
  7. Serve warm and enjoy!
