Sweet Potatoes, Lemon Glaze

By Bellacucinam

Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh lemon juice
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped lemon zest
• 5 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and freshly ground pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Combine juice, sugar and zest in a small non-reactive pan and reduce to 1/2 cup. Set aside.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Toss sweet potatoes in oil and roast in a large ovenproof skillet. Roast until lightly golden brown and just cooked through. Remove the pan from the oven and place on a burner over medium heat. Add the glaze to the potatoes and toss to coat evenly. Saute potatoes until all are glazed.
