  • Prep Time 10 minutes
  • Total Time 30 minutes
  • Yield Serves 6

Ingredients

    • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, such as safflower
    • 2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled, quartered, and cut into 1-inch pieces
    • 1 cup canned reduced-sodium chicken broth or water
    • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
    • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
    • Coarse salt and ground pepper
    • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
    • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add sweet potatoes; cook, stirring once, until beginning to brown, 2 minutes.
  2. Add broth, packed brown sugar, and fresh lime juice; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until crisp-tender, 10 minutes. Uncover, and cook over medium-high until sweet potatoes are tender and liquid is syrupy, 7 to 9 minutes more (there should be only a small amount of liquid remaining).
  3. Remove skillet from heat; add butter, and swirl skillet until melted. Season with salt and pepper.
