We bet no one will guess that the sweet potatoes for this low-fat variation of the Southern classic came from a can.

Hands on time: 10 minutes  Total time: 50 minutes  Serves: 8

Ingredients:

    3 (15-ounce) cans sweet potatoes, drained
    1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
    1 (6-ounce) can apple juice concentrate, defrosted
    1/2 to 1 (10-ounce) bag marshmallows

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut sweet potato chunks in 2-inch slices; arrange in a shallow ovenproof casserole dish sprayed with vegetable spray. Stir the ginger into the apple juice concentrate, then pour over the slices. Cover with foil and bake about 15 minutes. Remove the cover, turn the potatoes and continue to cook about 15 minutes. (Don't worry if it isn't very attractive; the marshmallows will hide it.)

Top with marshmallows and bake 15 to 20 minutes longer, until marshmallows are nicely browned.
