ingredients

• non-stick aluminum foil
• 4 large sweet potatoes (3 to 3 1/2 pounds)
• 1 cup packed brown sugar

• 1⁄4 cup light corn syrup
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt

directions

1. PREHEAT oven to 400°F.
2. LINE a 9x13x2-inch baking pan with Non-Stick Aluminum Foil with non-stick side facing up toward food; set aside.
3. PLACE sweet potatoes in a 3-quart pan of water. Boil, covered, for 20 minutes until tender but firm; drain. When cool enough to handle, peel and slice into 1/2-inch slices and layer in foil-lined pan.
4. COMBINE brown sugar, butter, corn syrup, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Microwave on HIGH for 1 minute or until sugar is melted, stirring once. Drizzle 1/3 of mixture over sweet potatoes.
