Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 0.5 cup orange juice
- 0.25 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1/2-inch thick slices.
Step 2
Place a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
Step 3
Add the sweet potato slices to the skillet in a single layer and sauté for 3 minutes on each side until they begin to brown slightly.

Step 5
Pour the orange juice mixture over the sweet potatoes in the skillet.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and let the sweet potatoes cook for 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure the sauce evenly coats the potatoes.
