For an extra touch of flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the sugar before sprinkling it over the potatoes. Broiling times may vary depending on your oven. Keep a close eye on the potatoes to prevent burning. These broiled sweet potatoes are delicious served with roasted chicken, pork, or as a vegetarian side dish. If you do not have a microwave, you can bake the sweet potatoes in the oven, covered with foil, until tender.
