SWAP ScoreChoose Rarely
Supporting Wellness at Pantries (SWAP) is a stoplight nutrition ranking system designed to help promote healthy food choices. SWAP ranks food as either green (choose often, supports health), yellow (choose sometimes, can contribute to good health), or red (choose rarely, limited health benefits). These rankings are based on the amount of saturated fat, sodium, and sugar in one serving of the recipe. These nutrients were chosen because they are most associated with chronic disease risk.
Ingredients
- 1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/2 inch thick rounds
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon margarine
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ground (optional)
Directions
- Place sweet potatoes in a 12-inch skillet; cover with hot water, and bring to a boil. Lower heat, cover, and cook for 10 minutes until soft. Drain.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine orange juice, brown sugar, margarine, and cinnamon. If using cinnamon, add that too.
- Pour the sauce over the cooked potatoes in the skillet. Cook and stir until bubbly.
- Uncover and gently boil for about 5 minutes until the potatoes are glazed, spooning sauce over potatoes from time to time.
Recipe Tips
Add 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg or allspice with the cinnamon.
