Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup water
Directions
Step 1
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
Step 2
In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 3
Once the butter is melted, add the brown sugar, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, salt, and water. Stir until the mixture is smooth and begins to simmer.
Step 4
Carefully add the sweet potato rounds to the skillet in a single layer. Spoon some of the glaze over the top to coat the potatoes.
Step 5
Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to medium-low. Let the sweet potatoes cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 6
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium. Let the glaze thicken and caramelize slightly, about 3-5 minutes, stirring the sweet potatoes gently to coat them evenly in the glossy glaze.
Step 7
Transfer the glazed sweet potatoes to a serving platter and drizzle any remaining glaze from the pan over the top.
Step 8
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious glazed sweet potatoes!
