Candied Sweet Potatoes

 
After the turkey was in the oven, Michael and I had some time to relax and figure out just what we wanted to do with the potatoes. We came across this recipe and thought it sounded interesting. It was a little bit less sugar/oil than a lot of the other recipes we had looked at, but did not lack any taste. I would definitely make it again in the future.
 
Ingredients
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 pinch freshly ground pepper
 
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Pour the oil into a 9x13 inch baking dish, and place in the oven until hot, about 5 minutes.
 
Add potatoes to the oiled dish and bake for 20 minutes in the prehead oven, turning after about 10 minutes. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, salt and pepper.
 
After the 20 minutes is up, remove the potatoes from the oven, and sprinkle with the brown sugar mixture. Stir to coat. Return to the oven and roast for another 10 minutes (it took us about another 20-25 minutes), or until potatoes are tender and golden brown. Stir potatoes as necessary and allow them to brown evenly.
 
Enjoy!
