Sticky Roasted Sweet Potatoes



I bought a huge amount of sweet potatoes during Thanksgiving week sales. They have been a little strange for us to get used to since they are not bright orange like I am used to.  They are more white and the texture of them is a little bit different.  We have been having fun experimenting with them. 



 Ingredients

3 Sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into bite size cubes
2 tsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp of brown sugar
1 tsp of ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp of ground nutmeg
Pinch of ground ginger
Salt, to taste


Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Coat a small baking dish with cooking spray.

Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into bite size cubes and place in the baking dish. Melt butter in the microwave and pour over the potatoes along with the olive oil, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and salt.

Add more sugar or cinnamon if desired. Toss to coat evenly.

Bake in the oven for 60 minutes Stir the sweet potatoes once or twice during roasting.
