I love a baked sweet potato, but sometimes, I simply don’t have the hour needed to bake one when I’m trying to get Kenya’s dinner together quickly. This version is my quick alternative, which is healthy, sweet and delicious. My secret ingredient is the squeeze of lime juice that brings out the naturally sweet flavor of the sweet potatoes glazed with a touch of maple syrup.

Sometimes I like to double the recipe in order to have potatoes to pick at in the fridge for the next several days. Packed with beta carotene, these little yummy morsels are perfect as a colorful side dish or even for a breakfast with a twist.

1 Lb. Sweet Potatoes, peeled and chopped
1 Tbsp Oil
1 Tbsp Lime Juice
1/3 Cup Water
1 1/2 Tbsp Maple Syrup

1. Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Saute the sweet potatoes for 3 minutes.
2. Add the lime juice and water, cover, reduce the heat to low and cook for 15 minutes.
3. Cook potatoes until fork tender, add the maple syrup, cover and cook an additional 2 minutes or until glazed.
4. Serve.
