Ingredients

  • 6 cups sweet potatoes 1/2" to 1" thick slices
  • 5 TBS butter
  • 2 TBS water
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • ½ cup coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°
  • Peel and dice sweet potatoes into 1/2" to 1" thick slices
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, water, maple syrup, coconut sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. 
  • Stir until the butter is melted and allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil.  Allow to boil for approx 2 minutes without stirring.
  • Remove from heat and slowly add vanilla.  The mixture will be a bit sticky, this is normal and will thin as it cooks in the oven.
  •  Place sweet potatoes in an even layer in a 9x13 prepared baking dish and then pour the sauce mixture over the potatoes.  Toss to evenly coat the potatoes
  • Place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Remove the potatoes from the oven and then cover with aluminum foil and cook for an additional 40 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
  • Remove the potatoes from the oven and allow to sit for 5-10 minute before serving.
