- 1 cup brown sugar
- 16 oz. corn syrup (reserve 1-2 tbsp. for topping)
- 4 large sweet potatoes
- 1/2 orange juice only
- 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
- 1/8 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
Topping
- 2 Tbsp. brown sugar for topping
- 1 whole orange cut into paper thin circle slices
In a large pot, boil sweet potatoes with skin on until fork tender. Remove from heat, drain and take skin off. Slice potatoes lengthwise in half - if using very thick sweet potatoes, cut lengthwise into thirds to make each potato thinner.
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Grease 9x13 baking dish with non-stick spray.
Arrange sweet potatoes in dish, pour corn syrup over the potatoes (reserving 1-2 Tablespoons), sprinkle brown sugar evenly across potatoes, season with salt and pepper. Squeeze fresh orange juice across potatoes. Arrange thinly sliced oranges on top of the potatoes. Drizzle remaining corn syrup over oranges and sprinkle oranges with brown sugar.
Bake for 1 hour or until bubbly and edges of potatoes looked caramelized.
