Roasted Balsamic Sweet Potatoes

These sweet potatoes were baked with my Balsamic Roast Pork Tenderloin, but they can also be made separately as a side dish.

Recipe adapted from Laura Rebecca's Kitchen


Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup Newman's Fat-free Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing
• 1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
• 1/2 stick unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 large sweet potatoes

Directions:

1. Microwave the sweet potatoes as they are on HIGH for 3 minutes.
2. Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into 1 1/4 inch cubes.  Set aside.
3. Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.  Line a shallow baking pan with foil.
4. In a small pot, bring the balsamic and sugar to a boil and stir until the sugar dissolves.  Reduce the heat and simmer for about 2 minutes.
5. Add the butter an salt and stir until the butter melts.  Toss the mixture with the potatoes and spread evenly on the baking pan.  Bake for about 22 minutes.

** For my Balsamic Roast Pork Tenderloin, I just added the tossed sweet potatoes around the pork, and it came out perfectly.
