Using virgin coconut oil in this recipe enhances the flavor of the sweet potatoes, while infusing a subtle perfume of coconut to them. Virgin coconut oil is found in most health food stores. Adapted from Melissa Clark, NY Times.

Biggest problem is when I make these a can't stop eating them. I add minced garlic a heaping tablespoon, cause I love garlic, sliced Spanish onion, and a good teaspoon of cinnamon. I skipped the sugar, I find it is sweet enough without sugar.I forgot the nutmeg, but will try it next time. I used a blend of olive oil and coconut oil. 1-2 ratio. It baked in 40 min, took it out of oven and added chopped fresh parsley. its in a bowl on the stove top, probably wont be any left before dinner even starts.Reply

What a terrific recipe threeovens. We really enjoyed these tasty sweet potatoes. I loved the flavor created by the coconut oil and nutmeg. They were slightly sweet, with a lovely caramelized crust, nothing was overpowering and you could taste all the ingredients. Quick and easy to make, they have gone into my keeper box. Thanks for sharing your recipe.Reply
