Instructions
- Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Place a steamer basket in a large pot and bring 2 inches of water to a boil. Place whole sweet potatoes in the steamer basket and cover. Cook until easily pierced with a fork, about 30 minutes. Drain and cool.
- Peel and slice sweet potatoes into rounds; place in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Melt brown sugar, butter, water, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat until bubbly and sugar dissolves; pour over potatoes.
- Bake in the preheated oven until caramelized, about 1 hour, basting occasionally with the brown sugar sauce.
