12 GROUNDCOVER NEWS FOOD Candied sweet potatoes ELIZABETH BAUMAN Groundcover contributor Ingredients: 6 medium sweet potatoes 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup unsalted butter 1 Tablespoon water 1/4 cup pure maple syrup 1 cup (200g) packed light or dark brown sugar 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 2 teaspoons orange zest flaky sea salt (optional) Directions: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Peel then slice the sweet potatoes into 1/2 inch thick slices. Place in a greased 9×13inch dish and sprinkle salt on top and toss to coat. Combine the butter, water, maple syrup, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg 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 two minutes without stirring. DECEMBER 13, 2024 Remove sauce from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and orange zest. 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, cover the dish with aluminum foil so the potatoes bake evenly. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with sea salt if desired and cool uncovered for 10 minutes before serving. The sauce is thin right out of the oven but thickens as it cools. Delicious as a holiday side dish to turkey. By Amanda Gale, vendor No. 573 Make it your way with the ingredients you love. Enjoy the savory flavors. $5 OFF NATURAL FOODS MARKET 216 N.
