Glazed Sweet Potatoes with Brown Sugar and Lime

Recipe from marthastewart.com

Fall is officially here. It's the season for sweet potatoes! These are a perfect easy and yummy side to pair with any meal. I love the lime juice with the brown sugar, butter and cayenne pepper. They're sweet, tangy, and buttery, with a tiny bit of bite. Yum!

What you'll need
1 tbsp vegetable oil
2 lb sweet potatoes, peeled, quartered, and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 tbsp fresh lime juice
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

How to
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.

3.  Uncover, and cook over medium-high until sweet potatoes are tender and liquid is syrupy, 7-9 minutes more (there should only be a small amount of liquid remaining).

4.  Remove skillet from heat; add butter, and swirl skillet until melted. Season with salt and pepper.
