Clementine Sweet Potatoes
Easy and crowd pleasing. Vegan side dish.
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 cup fresh orange juice.
- 2 cups water
- 3 clementines peeled and sectioned
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh scallion
- 1/2 t ground cinnamon
- 1/2 t ground cumin optional
- Sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
Instructions
- Peel and slice the sweet potatoes into rounds.
- Heat oil in a large saute pan.
- When oil is freely flowing, but not smoking, add the sweet potatoes. Allow them to caramelize before shaking and stirring. Try to brown a bit on each side stirring occasionally.
- Once a good color and even cooking has begun, add juice and water. Bring to a boil. Allow the potatoes to simmer, stirring occasionally. You will want to cook down the liquid until it is a coating. If the potatoes aren’t cooked through, add more liquid and continue cooking. Add the honey and seasoning. Stir this to mix everything together. The liquid should be more like a glaze at this point. Add in the clementines and continue cooking. Adjust seasoning and check the potatoes to make sure they are soft enough to eat, but not breaking apart. Fold in the scallions to evenly distribute all the ingredients and colors. Serve immediately or save to reheat later.
Notes
You can serve this hot or cool it and add a light orange vinaigrette to make a salad later.
Bon Apetit!
