Ginger Sweet Potatoes Recipe
- 3/4 cup apricot preserves
- 1/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (from about 1 medium orange)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon peeled and grated fresh ginger (from about 1 3-inch piece)
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 4 pounds medium Garnet sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- Heat the oven to 425 degrees F and arrange a rack in the middle.
- Place the preserves, orange juice, butter, ginger, and salt in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and cook until the butter and preserves are melted and smooth, about 6 minutes.
- Place the sweet potatoes in a large bowl, drizzle with a third of the apricot mixture (about 1/2 cup), and, using your hands, toss to coat.
- Overlap the slices in a 13-by-9-inch baking dish (we like to alternate the direction of the rows, as shown in the photo).
- Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove the baking dish from the oven and take off the foil.
- Drizzle with another third of the apricot mixture and bake uncovered for 10 minutes.
- Drizzle with the remaining third of the apricot mixture and bake uncovered until the sweet potatoes are tender and the glaze has thickened, about 10 minutes more.
- Transfer the dish to a wire rack and cool 10 minutes before serving.
