Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 1.5 cups apple cider
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.5 cups dried cranberries
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.125 teaspoons ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Spread them evenly on a large, rimmed baking sheet.
In a small saucepan, combine the apple cider, brown sugar, butter, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Set the pan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the liquid reduces slightly to form a glaze.
Pour half of the cider glaze over the sweet potatoes, then season with salt and black pepper. Toss well to coat the sweet potatoes evenly.
Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, tossing once halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the dried cranberries over the sweet potatoes. Drizzle the remaining cider glaze over everything.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 10 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and caramelized.
Transfer the sweet potatoes and cranberries to a serving dish, then spoon any excess glaze from the baking sheet on top for extra flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy!
