A delightful twist on classic sweet potatoes, enhanced with a zesty citrus glaze and a hint of ginger.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Peel and slice the sweet potatoes into even rounds, about 1/4 inch thick.
Uniform slices ensure the sweet potatoes cook evenly.
Arrange the sweet potato slices in a greased baking dish.
Greasing the dish prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the brown sugar, butter, orange zest, orange juice, ground ginger, salt, and black pepper. Microwave on high for 1 minute or until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves. Stir well.
Stirring ensures the ingredients are well combined for a smooth glaze.
Pour the glaze evenly over the sweet potato slices.
Ensure all slices are coated for maximum flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, basting occasionally with the glaze.
Basting helps the glaze penetrate the sweet potatoes for a richer taste.
Switch the oven to broil and cook for an additional 3 minutes to caramelize the glaze.
Keep an eye on the dish to prevent burning.
Sprinkle the chopped green onions over the sweet potatoes before serving.
Green onions add a fresh and vibrant touch to the dish.
