I was casting about looking a different way to do sweet potatoes this year. I combined several different recipes into this one which proved to be a big hit.

[color:"blue"]Coconut Ginger Lime Sweet Potatoes[/color]
Ingredients
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 10 cup thinly sliced (1/4 to ½ inch slices) peeled sweet potato (about 3 pounds – 3 big ones)
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1 can coconut milk
• lime zest from 2 limes
• fresh lime juice of 2 limes
• orange zest of 1 orange
• 3 tablespoon grated peeled fresh ginger
• 2 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• ½ cup flaked coconut
• Cooking spray
Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 425°.
2. Combine flour and potato in a large bowl; toss well.
3. Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add sugar and next 8 ingredients (sugar through pepper); warm until sugar dissolves. Pour over potato mixture; toss well. Spoon mixture into a shallow 2-quart casserole dish coated with cooking spray.
4. Cover and bake at 425° for 55 minutes or until tender. Sprinkle with flaked coconut for last 15 minutes and cook uncovered till coconut is browned. Let stand 10 minutes.

OH Yummmm... I wonder if this would be good with some sliced apples thrown in???
I have to have apples with my sweet potatoes...

I think apples might be a nice addition!

This looks great. How many servings would you say this makes? Thanks!

Easily 8 -10

Thanks again for the recipe. It was a hit! There were 8 of us and they licked the platter clean!

Glad you enjoyed it. It's quite different but very good.

I tried this last night and it was excellent! It's nice to have another really good recipe for sweet potatoes. Thanks!
