Orange, maple sweet potatoes
This is a very simple recipe and needs to be included for the technique. These are bakes in a covered pan with orange juice, so they are steamed and roasted at the same time. They are cut like french fries so they are easy to eat.

Notes
This is a Snap Pea Sheep recipe.
Variations you might try is to change up the cooking liquid. Try pineapple juice instead of Orange.
Use lime juice and sprinkle on some chili powder and cumin to make a savory dish.
Watch the time. I cook these in a convection oven> they might be ready in 30 minutes because of the cuts.
