1/3 cup brown sugar
70g
1/4 tsp cinnamon

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Sweet Potatoes:
- Peel the sweet potatoes if desired and rinse them under cold water.
- Cut the sweet potatoes into even-sized chunks or slices for uniform cooking.
3. Boil Sweet Potatoes:
- Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil.

6. Bake:
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, occasionally basting the sweet potatoes with the glaze. The sweet potatoes should be tender and the glaze thickened and caramelized.
7. Serve:
- Remove the baking dish from the oven, and let the sweet potatoes cool slightly before serving.
- For added presentation, spoon some of the extra glaze from the dish over the sweet potatoes before serving.
8. Enjoy!
