Our stove top sweet potatoes recipe is an delicious easy vegetable side dish.
The orange juice and brown sugar add to the wonderful sweetness of this already sweet vegetable. Omit the brown sugar if you want a sugar free sweet potato recipe.
I love that this recipe also includes a few spices. This time it’s cinnamon and allspice to round out the flavor and pull it all together.
It really works well.
The combination of ingredients in this recipe makes for a vegetable side dish that even vegetable-phobes may love.
This is a wonderful vegetable side dish recipe for holiday dinners when sweet potatoes seem a natural on the menu.

Sweet Potatoes
Ingredients
- 1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled

- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
