Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Sweet Potatoes: (5 minutes) Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut sweet potatoes into 1-inch thick rounds or half-moons for even cooking.
02
StepCreate the Orange-Caramel Syrup: (5 minutes) In a large, oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, combine the brown sugar, butter, orange juice, salt, and cloves. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved. Bring to a simmer.
03
StepCandy the Sweet Potatoes: (30-40 minutes) Arrange the sweet potato pieces in a single layer within the syrup. If using, sprinkle orange zest over the potatoes. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and the syrup has thickened into a rich, glossy caramel, basting the potatoes with the syrup every 10 minutes.
04
StepRest and Serve: (5 minutes) Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving. Discard the cloves before serving. Serve hot, spooning the extra syrup over the sweet potatoes.
