Ingredients | Benefits Of Drinking Fresh Orange Juice During Pregnancy

2 ½ pounds sweet potatoes

cooking spray

2 tablespoons white sugar

2 teaspoons cornstarch

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon ground ginger

½ cup orange juice

3 tablespoons butter

Directions

Pierce skin of sweet potatoes in several spots with a fork.

Cook sweet potatoes in microwave oven until just tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Refrigerate sweet potatoes until cooled completely, at least 20 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a shallow 1 1/2-quart baking dish with cooking spray.

Peel sweet potatoes and cut into cubes; spread into prepared baking dish.

Mix sugar, cornstarch, salt, and ginger together in a glass measuring cup; pour orange juice into the cup while stirring with a whisk.

Heat orange juice mixture in microwave oven for 1 minute, stir, and continue to heat until thickened and smooth, 30 to 60 seconds more; add butter and stir until melted. Pour the liquid over the sweet potatoes.

Bake in preheated oven until sweet potatoes are heated through, 15 to 20 minutes.

Make-ahead tip: Several hours before dinner, cook, peel, and cube sweet potatoes. Measure sauce ingredients. Cook sauce 30 minutes prior to serving; pour over sweet potatoes. Bake in oven.
