Ingredients
- 2 Sweet Potatoes, peeled
- ½ cup Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Molasses
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Lime Juice (no bottled stuff!)
- Zest from 1 Small Lime
- ½ teaspoon Minced Ginger or 1/4 tsp Ginger Powder, optional
- Black Pepper, to taste
- Earth Balance, for dotting
- Parsley or Cilantro, for garnish
Method
Preheat oven to 400º F.
Thinly Sliced Sweet PotatoesSlice sweet potatoes thinly, about 1/8″, with a mandoline or a food processor. Mix remaining ingredients (except pepper, earth balance and garnish) together to form a paste. Coat the sliced sweet potatoes well with the lime sugar mixture.
Arrange the coated slices in overlapping rows in one layer in an oiled casserole dish. Dot with earth balance, sprinkle with pepper, and wrap tightly with two layers of aluminum foil.
Candied Lime Sweet Potatoes
Bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes. It’s okay if it looks a little watery when you remove the foil, it’ll reduce and form a nice glaze during the rest of the baking. Finish under the broiler to brown the top. Sprinkle with parsley/cilantro and serve immediately.
