Ingredients

  • 0.8 cup apricot preserves 
  • tablespoon ginger fresh grated peeled (from 1 [3-inch] piece)
  • tablespoon kosher salt 
  • 0.3 cup orange juice freshly squeezed (from 1 medium orange)
  • pounds sweet potatoes and into peeled sliced into 1/2-inch rounds

Directions

  1. Heat the oven to 425°F and arrange a rack in the middle.
  2. Place the preserves, orange juice, butter, ginger, and salt in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and cook until the butter and preserves are melted and smooth, about 6 minutes.
