Maple-glazed candied sweet potatoes are a delicious and comforting side dish that combines the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes with a rich, caramel-like glaze. Perfect for holiday dinners or a cozy family meal, this recipe is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.

Ingredients:

6 sweet potatos
780g
1/2 cup salted butter
110g
1 cup brown sugar
220g
1/2 cup water
120g
1 tsp salt
6g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Wash and peel the sweet potatoes.
- Cut the sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch thick slices.
2. Cook the Sweet Potatoes:
- Place the sliced sweet potatoes in a large pot and cover with water.
- Add a pinch of salt to the water and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are just tender but still hold their shape.
- Drain the sweet potatoes and set them aside.
3. Make the Maple Glaze:
- In a medium saucepan, melt the salted butter over medium heat.
- Add the brown sugar and water to the melted butter, stirring continuously.
- Cook the mixture until the sugar is fully dissolved and it starts to bubble, creating a syrupy consistency (about 5 minutes).
- Stir in the 1 teaspoon of salt until well blended.
4. Combine and Bake:
- Lightly grease a baking dish or casserole dish with a small amount of butter.
- Arrange the boiled sweet potato slices evenly in the dish.
- Pour the maple glaze evenly over the sweet potatoes, making sure every slice is well coated.
5. Bake the Sweet Potatoes:
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, basting occasionally with the glaze from the bottom of the dish, until the sweet potatoes are tender and the glaze is thick and bubbly.
6. Serve:
- Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the maple-glazed candied sweet potatoes warm as a delightful side dish.

Tips:

- Choose sweet potatoes that are firm and free from blemishes for the best results.

- Peel the sweet potatoes carefully to avoid waste, but be sure to remove all the skin to ensure a smooth texture.

- For an extra layer of flavor, you can add a pinch of cinnamon or a dash of vanilla extract to the glaze.

- Make sure to stir the glaze frequently to prevent it from burning or sticking to the pan.

- For a more substantial dish, you can add toasted pecans or walnuts to the sweet potatoes before serving.

Once your maple-glazed candied sweet potatoes are done, you'll have a delightful and flavorful side dish that's bound to impress. The combination of the silky sweet potatoes and the rich, sweet glaze creates a harmony of flavors that's perfect for any occasion. Enjoy your meal!
