Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 sweet potatoes
½ cup pomegranate juice
¼ cup water
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ cup cold butter, cut into tablespoon-sized pieces

Steps:

  • Wrap the sweet potatoes with plastic wrap, and place into the microwave. Cook on High until the sweet potatoes are tender, about 4 minutes, depending on the microwave. Unwrap the potatoes, and refrigerate until cool enough to handle.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a small baking dish.
  • Bring the pomegranate juice, water, vinegar, sugar, and cinnamon to a simmer in a small saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer gently for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, peel the potatoes and cut into large cubes; place into the prepared baking dish, and dot with the cubed butter. Pour the pomegranate sauce evenly overtop.
  • Bake in preheated oven 30 minutes until the pomegranate sauce has thickened into a glaze. Gently stir the potatoes occasionally as they bake to coat them in the glaze.

1 TB organic extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil

Flip the sweet potatoes after 15 minutes and return to the oven. Continue cooking another 12-15 minutes until golden in color. Drizzle with the prepared Pomegranate Molasses just before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes that are about the same size. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Pierce the sweet potatoes before baking: This will help them cook more evenly and prevent them from exploding in the oven.
  • Bake the sweet potatoes until they are tender: You can check this by inserting a knife or toothpick into the center of the potato. It should go in easily.
  • Let the sweet potatoes cool slightly before handling: This will help prevent them from breaking apart.
  • Mash the sweet potatoes with a fork or potato masher: You can also use a food processor if you want a smoother texture.
  • Add the pomegranate molasses, honey, and spices to the mashed sweet potatoes: Stir until well combined.
  • Serve the pomegranate sweet potatoes warm: They can be served as a side dish or main course.

Conclusion:

Pomegranate sweet potatoes are a delicious and healthy side dish or main course. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The pomegranate molasses and honey add a sweet and tangy flavor to the potatoes, while the spices add a warm and savory flavor.
