The Sweet Potato Lover's Cookbook, 1998, gave me the original of this recipe, though I've changed it slightly. Ingredients:
4 medium sweet potatoes |
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup |
1/4 cup orange juice concentrate |
1/4 teaspoon orange zest, minced |
1 teaspoon dried thyme |
1/4 cup bacon, cooked, crumbled (i use hormel's real bacon pieces) |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Scrub & wash the sweet potatoes then cut each in half across the middle.
3. Julienne the potatoes, then place in a microwave proof dish, cover, & microwave on high for 4 minutes.
4. In a small bowl, blend together the syrup, juice concentrate, zest & thyme.
5. Put the microwaved sweet potatoes in a glass baking dish & toss them with the syrup mixture.
6. Spray the top with a nonstick baking spray, then bake for 20 minutes.
7. When done, sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the top of the orange sweet potatoes & serve.
