Lemon Glazed Sweet Potatoes:
2 cups fresh lemon juice
2 cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon finely chopped lemon zest
5 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Combine juice, sugar and zest in a small non-reactive pan and reduce to 1/2 cup. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Toss sweet potatoes in oil and roast in a large ovenproof skillet. Roast until lightly golden brown and just cooked through. Remove the pan from the oven and place on a burner over medium heat. Add the glaze to the potatoes and toss to coat evenly. Sauté potatoes until all are glazed.
