Sugar Free Candied Sweet Potatoes Food

CANDIED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel then slice the sweet potatoes into 1/2 inch thick slices. Place in a greased 9×13 inch or other 3 quart baking dish. Sprinkle salt on top and toss to coat. I just use nonstick spray to grease.
• Preheat oven to 375°F (191°C).
• Cut stick of butter in half. (Helps it melt easier.) Combine all the butter, water, maple syrup, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger into a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir until the butter has melted. Stop stirring and bring to a gentle boil. Boil for 2 minutes without stirring. Remove sauce from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. (And orange zest, if using.)
• Pour sauce over potatoes and toss to coat.
• Bake for 1 hour, stopping and stirring the sweet potatoes every 20 minutes. After the first 20 minutes, I cover the dish with aluminum foil so the potatoes bake evenly.
• Remove from the oven, sprinkle with rosemary and sea salt (if using), then cool uncovered for 10 minutes before serving. The sauce is thin right out of the oven but thickens as it cools.
• Cover and store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Sauce will be thick after refrigeration, but thins out as you warm the leftovers up. Simply warm in the microwave.

• In a medium bowl, combine brown sugar, melted butter, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract and salt. Whisk until smooth. If the mixture is very thick, pop in the microwave for 30 seconds to loosen it up.
• Transfer sliced sweet potatoes to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
• Drizzle the brown sugar mixture over the top of the sweet potatoes and toss to combine. You want each piece of sweet potato coated in the mixture.
• Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and gently stir. Bake for another 15 minutes (no foil) and again, gently stir. Check to see how tender the sweet potatoes are at this point. Bake for another 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the size and thickness of your potatoes. Make sure they are tender (but not falling apart) before removing.
• If adding marshmallows, sprinkle marshmallows on top and pop back in the oven for 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

STOVETOP CANDIED SWEET POTATOES WITH PECANS

Steps:

• prepare a steam bath for the sweet potatoes; I filled a large pot with 1/2″ of water and placed a metal sieve over top of it. Once the water starts to steam, add in the sweet potatoes and cover. Steam for 10 to 12 minutes, until fork tender. Once tender, remove from the pot and set aside; save 2-3 tablespoons of the steaming water for step 3.
• Melt the butter in a large saucepan or skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add in the brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and salt and whisk well, until a glossy syrup forms. Add 1 tablespoon of the steaming liquid to the pot and quickly whisk until the brown sugar has melted (add more water only if necessary).
• Add the steamed sweet potatoes and pecans to the butter/sugar mixture, spreading them evenly across the pan. Use a spatula to flip or stir the mixture every 2 min, cooking for 10-12 minutes total. Potatoes are done when slightly browned and nuts are golden.
• Transfer to a serving dish and top with flaky salt, if desired. Serve warm; leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
