Very easy, very tasty and a lower fat/healthier version that many sweet potato recipes. It was a bit too orange/sweet for my taste so I would probably cut back a bit on the OJ concentrate. I'll make it again for sure.

Made and froze. Thawed and then threw into oven in a bowl while cooking chicken. It had such wonderful flavor! It froze and reheated very well, didn't get mushy or have too much spare liquid, but wasn't too dry either. I wish I had made more...
