Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a 9x13 inch casserole dish, arrange the sweet potato spears. Sprinkle with 2 cups of brown sugar and drizzle with lemon juice and 1/2 cup sherry cooking wine. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, basting with the pan juices every 8-10 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are tender and caramelized. (25 minutes)

04

Step

While the sweet potatoes are baking, melt the butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. (3 minutes)

05

Step

Stir in 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, cloves, white pepper, and thyme. Add the frozen green beans and sauté for 2 minutes. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Pour in the remaining 1/2 cup sherry cooking wine and continue to sauté until the green beans are tender-crisp and the sauce has slightly thickened, about 5-7 minutes. (7 minutes)

07

Step

Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and drain off any excess basting liquid. Gently toss the roasted sweet potatoes with the green bean mixture. (3 minutes)

08

Step

Serve immediately and enjoy!

For a richer flavor, try using dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
A splash of balsamic vinegar at the end can add a delightful tang.
Fresh thyme can be substituted for dried thyme; use about 1 teaspoon.
To make ahead, roast the sweet potatoes and saute the green beans separately. Combine just before serving.
