Ingredients
- 4 medium (about 2 pounds) sweet potatoes
- 1.5 cups apple cider
- 1 tablespoon (grated) fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (optional for garnish) chopped fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish large enough to hold the sweet potatoes in a single layer.
Step 2
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Place the cubes in the prepared baking dish.
Step 3
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the apple cider, grated ginger, butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Stir gently until the butter is fully melted and the mixture is well combined.
Step 4
Pour the apple cider mixture evenly over the sweet potatoes in the baking dish, tossing the potatoes gently to ensure they are coated with the liquid.
Step 5
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Step 6
Remove the foil and stir the sweet potatoes to ensure even cooking. Return the dish to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and the liquid has thickened slightly.
Step 7
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, for a pop of color and freshness.
Step 8
Serve warm and enjoy this sweet and savory dish as a perfect addition to any meal.
