Ingredients
Recipe yields 10 servings
2 Tbsp unsalted butter
4 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 cup water
3/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 Tbsp granulated sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp salt
Black pepper to taste
2 tsp dried cranberries
2 tsp fresh orange zest
Directions
Step 1
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add sweet potatoes and stir until coated evenly. Add water and orange juice; cover, and cook 15 minutes, or until potatoes are just tender.
Step 2
Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid is evaporated, about 10 minutes.
Step 3
Sprinkle sugars and cinnamon over potatoes and toss until coated. Continue cooking until sugar caramelizes and potatoes have a brown glaze, 5 minutes, turning occasionally. Season with salt and pepper, garnish with dried cranberries and orange zest, and serve immediately.
