Four ingredients equal one simple side dish. The pineapple juice helps caramelize the potatoes, resulting in wonderful flavor and texture.

Ingredients

Cooking spray

1 spray(s)

Splenda Granulated no calorie sweetener

1 Tbsp

Uncooked sweet potato

1½ pound(s), peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks

Crushed pineapple canned in juice

8 oz, undrained

Ground cinnamon

¼ tsp

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425ºF. Coat a 2-quart casserole dish with cooking spray.
  2. Place potatoes in prepared dish. In a small bowl, combine crushed pineapple, Splenda and cinnamon; add to potatoes and toss until well mixed.
  3. Bake, stirring after 30 minutes, until sweet potato mixture is bubbly, about 45 minutes. Yields about 1/2 cup per serving.
