Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium (about 1 pound total) sweet potatoes
- 1 cup crushed pineapple (canned in juice, not syrup)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar substitute
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 as needed for preparing dish non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly coat a baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Arrange the cubes in the prepared baking dish in an even layer.
In a medium bowl, combine the crushed pineapple (with juice), brown sugar substitute, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, almond milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well mixed.
Pour the pineapple mixture evenly over the sweet potatoes, ensuring all the pieces are coated in the liquid mixture.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 30 minutes.
Remove the aluminum foil and gently stir the sweet potatoes to ensure even coating. Return the dish to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and the sauce has slightly thickened.
Remove from the oven and let the dish cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
