Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Once the butter is melted, add the brown sugar, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, salt, and water. Stir until the mixture is smooth and begins to simmer.
Carefully add the sweet potato rounds to the skillet in a single layer. Spoon some of the glaze over the top to coat the potatoes.
Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to medium-low. Let the sweet potatoes cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium. Let the glaze thicken and caramelize slightly, about 3-5 minutes, stirring the sweet potatoes gently to coat them evenly in the glossy glaze.
Transfer the glazed sweet potatoes to a serving platter and drizzle any remaining glaze from the pan over the top.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious glazed sweet potatoes!
