Time 20m

Yield 1 casserole, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

5 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/3 inch thick
2 tablespoons melted coconut oil, plus more for greasing
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon white sugar
zest of one orange
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1 pinch salt
4 cups marshmallows

Steps:

Grease an 8 X 8-inch microwave and oven proof glass baking dish with some coconut oil.
Layer in the sweet potato slices in oiled baking dish.
Mix 2 tablespoons coconut oil, brown and white sugars, orange zest, orange juice and salt in a one cup liquid measuring cup or small bowl.
Pour mixture over sweet potatoes. Tightly cover with saran wrap. Microwave for 10-12 minutes or until the potatoes are done. Let sit for a minute and carefully remove saran wrap. (Steam will escape and will be very hot. Be careful not to steam burn yourself).
Just before serving, top with marshmallows and bake on the top rack ( at least 4-5 inches away from the heat source) at a 450 degree oven for about 5-6 minutes or until the marshmallows are the color you like.

MICROWAVE SWEET POTATO BAKE

Microwave Sweet Potato Bake image

This is a dish my mother created. It is so easy, fast and always gets rave reviews from dinner guests! It is my favourite side-dish. It goes really well with fish or any other white meat. I have always made this by eye, so the measurements are a rough estimate. (Preperation time excludes steaming of the sweet potatoes.)

Time 15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

4 -5 large sweet potatoes, steamed and peeled
250 g ginger biscuits, crushed (Gingernuts)
12 ounces evaporated milk
2 bananas
1 1/2 cups soft brown sugar

Steps:

Thickly slice the sweet potato, and place a layer into a round 9" microwave-safe dish.
Slice the bananas and place the banana slices over the gaps left by the potato.
Sprinkle the banana and sweet potato with a layer of gingernut crumbs. (Be sure to save some for the other layers.)
Sprinkle generously with some of the brown sugar.
Continue to build layers, finishing with gingernuts and sugar.
Pour enough evaporated milk over the dish to fill all the gaps. Last layer of potato should still be visible above the milk.
Place into the microwave and cook on high for 5-7 minutes.
Let stand for 2 minutes before serving.
VARIATION: Add some mini marshmallows for variation. The dish is sweet enough without them, so reduce sugar if you choose to do so.
