Ingredients
- 2 lbs or 900g sweet potatoes – more or less
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon flakey sea salt or to taste
- ¼ cup or 80g thin cut orange marmalade homemade or store-bought
- 2 tablespoons red wine or sherry vinegar
- 2-3 sprigs fresh thyme plus more for garnish
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Peel and cube the sweet potatoes.
- Mix together the marmalade, vinegar and the thyme leaves in a microwaveable bowl.
- Add in the butter and warm in the microwave until the butter starts to melt. Stir till the butter is completely melted and set aside.
- Drizzle the olive oil in a large non-stick pan where the sweet potatoes can fit in one layer.
- Over a medium to high heat, cook the sweet potatoes, tossing or stirring occasionally, until they are browned on many sides, about 8-10 minutes.
- Add in a few tablespoons of water, turn the fire down to a simmer and cover the pan for 5-6 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are fork tender.
- Remove the lid and add in the marmalade mixture.
- Over a low to medium heat, cook down carefully until the sauce reduces and thickens and the sweet potatoes are glazed.
- To serve, transfer to warm serving bowl.
- Use a silicone spatula to spoon every last sticky drop of glaze over sweet potatoes. Garnish with thyme, if desired.
