Ingredients

• 4 large sweet potatoes
• 1 cup cranberries (fresh or frozen)
• 0.5 cup orange juice
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 cup water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Spread them evenly on a large baking sheet.

Step 3

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of melted butter or oil over the sweet potatoes and toss to coat. Season lightly with a pinch of salt.

Step 4

Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized on the edges.

Step 5

While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the cranberry glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the cranberries, orange juice, honey, brown sugar, water, and cinnamon.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens.

Step 7

Remove the cranberry glaze from the heat and whisk in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter until smooth.

Step 8

Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. Pour the cranberry glaze over the sweet potatoes and gently toss to coat.

Step 9

Serve warm as a delicious side dish for holiday meals or any special occasion.
