Pineapple Sweet Potatoes Recipe Ingredients
Sweet potatoes
Act as the main ingredient, providing a sweet and starchy base for the dish. Peel and dice the potatoes.
Crushed pineapple
Adds a sweet and tangy flavor to the pineapple sweet potato recipe. It provides a burst of tropical flavor.
Brown sugar
Adds further sweetness and helps caramelize the sweet potatoes as they bake. Add brown sugar to taste.
Ground cinnamon
Contributes a warm, aromatic flavor. It complements the sweetness of the potatoes and pineapple.
Ground ginger
Brings a subtly spicy, yet warm flavor profile. The ginger adds depth and balances the sweet ingredients.
How To Make Pineapple Sweet Potatoes
– First, preheat your oven and bake the sweet potatoes until tender. This helps them to mash more easily later.
– Next, in a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked sweet potatoes with the crushed pineapple. This brings the two sweet fillings together.
– Also stir in the brown sugar to both sweeten and help caramelize the dish during baking.
– Add the cinnamon and ginger, which will gently spice up the flavors.
– Optionally, you could mix in some pecans at this stage for a crunchy texture contrast, if desired.
– Once the ingredients are thoroughly combined, transfer the mixture into a baking dish so it’s ready for the oven.
– Finally, bake the sweet potato mixture until heated through and glazed. Then enjoy your fruity, warmly-spiced side dish!
