Honey Glazed Sweet Potatoes

Instead of topping canned sweet potatoes
with a glaze and miniature marshmallows,
this version uses fresh sweet potatoes
and a lighter sweet coating,
which brings out the flavor of
the sweet potatoes with less calories.

Ingredients:
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 pounds sweet potatoes (about 4 large),
peeled and cut into wedges
Cracked black pepper or chopped herb of choice
(rosemary, sage or thyme), to taste

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375 degress F.
Lightly coat a 9-by-13 inch baking pan with cooking spray.
To make the sauce, in a small bowl add the water,
brown sugar, honey and olive oil. Whisk until smooth.
Place a single layer of sweet potatoes in the baking pan.
Pour the sauce over the sweet potatoes. Turn to coat them.
Cover and bake until tender, about 45 minutes.
Turn the sweet potatoes once
or twice to continue coating them.
When tender, remove the cover and continue
to bake until the glaze is set, about 15 minutes.
Transfer to a serving dish and top
with pepper or chopped herb of choice.
Serve immediately.
