Yield: 6 to 8 servings.
⅓ cup light brown sugar
½ teaspoon salt
Zest and juice from one orange
⅓ cup bourbon
⅓ cup maple syrup
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1½ pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced or cubed
Preheat oven to 400°.
In a saucepan over medium heat, add brown sugar, salt, orange zest and juice, bourbon, maple syrup, and butter. Stir occasionally until sugar dissolves.
In a 9 x 13-inch pan, spread sweet potatoes in an even layer.
Pour the sugar mixture over the potatoes and toss to coat.
Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, turning over once halfway through, until the potatoes are tender and caramelized.
