How To Make candied sweet potatoes, with easy diabetic version

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a shallow casserole dish with non stick spray, set aside.

    To make the GLAZE : Combine the brown sugar, orange juice and butter in a saucepan and cook over medium heat for 5 to 8 minutes until clear.
