Our sweet potato recipe has varied over the years. The current version has gotten good reviews. Bananas, maple syrup and honey are the ingredients that set this recipe apart.
Ingredients
- 1 bag sweet potatoes (usually about five)
- 1 banana – peeled an sliced
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into about 1 inch chunks.
Combine the oil, syrup, honey and spices in a cup.
Place the sweet potatoes and banana slices into a 9 x 12 baking dish. Pour the mixture over and stir to make sure the sweet potato pieces are well covered in the mixture. Bake in oven preheated to 400 F for about 15 minutes. Stir to get liquids well distributed on sweet potatoes. The banana slices will have pretty well disintegrated. That is how it should be. Bake another 15 minutes. Sweet potatoes should be fork-tender.
