Lemon & Cinnamon Sweet Potatoes

From Dave Ruel’s ‘Anabolic Cookbook’

Servings: 6

INGREDIENTS

• 3 large sweet potatoes

• 1.5 cups apple juice

• 1 tsp nutmeg

• 1 tsp cinnamon

• 1 tsp fresh lemon zest

• 3 tbsp olive oil

• 2 tbsp lemon juice

• Salt

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 375°F.

2. Place sweet potatoes in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat

and let simmer until just tender. Don’t overcook the sweet potatoes – you want them a bit firm. They will finish cooking in the oven.

3. Drain sweet potatoes and set aside to cool. Peel if desired. Cut into rounds 1⁄4-inch thick and lay them in a baking dish coated with cooking spray. Don’t overlap the pieces of potato.

4. In a saucepan place apple juice, nutmeg, cinnamon, lemon zest and salt. Simmer over low heat for 10 minutes.

5. Add olive oil and lemon juice. Stir well. Pour over the sweet potatoes.

6. Place the baking dish in the oven and bake the sweet potatoes for 20 minutes
