I love sweet potatoes– probably to the point of obsession.
I found this recipe in Fitness Magazine about five years ago– and since then this has been my very-favorite sweet potato recipe. Plus they’re good for you and your skin.
Over the years, I’ve made a few modifications:
Instead of 1 ¼ pounds of sweet potatoes, I just use two sweet potatoes (considering the average unpeeled sweet potato weighs about one pound) and add a little extra butter and juice. To save a plastic bag, I melt the butter in a large microwave safe bowl, then add in and mix the OJ, nutmeg, and sweet potatoes. A light coat of cooking spray on the baking sheet works just as well as parchment paper.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon orange juice
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
¼ tsp. ground nutmeg
1 ¼ pounds sweet potatoes, peeled, cut into strips
Recipe

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together juice, butter, and nutmeg.
3. Combine juice mixture and potatoes in a large sealable bag; toss to coat.
4. Spread in a single layer on a parchment lined baking sheet.
5. Salt to taste.
6. Bake for 25 minutes, or until browned.

Makes 4 servings!
