We enjoyed the recipe. The glaze was subtle and not overpowering at all. If you are expecting it to flavor the sweet potatoes, it may not turn out as expected. It was a light sauce that added to the sweetness of the potatoes. The sauce didnât caramelize for me but probably would have if I had used a higher oven temperature or had them in longer. The potatoes were getting soft so I pulled them out after the recommended cooking time. We eat sweet potatoes a lot so this added a new way of preparing them. We will make this again.
Soy-Glazed Sweet Potatoes
Randy Mayor
This side dish takes minutes to get ready for the oven and only an hour to bake. Choose plump, round sweet potatoes--they cut handsomely into wedges. When they're done, they should be practically lacquered with the glaze.
