🧂 Ingredients

1 Heat a large saute pan with a lid to medium heat. Once the pan is hot add the
water and the sweet potaoes to the pan. Cover with the lid and cook for 7-10
minutes, stirring every few minutes. We are simply steaming the potatoes to get
them fork tender.
2 Once the potatoes are about fork tender remove the lid. If all the water hasn't
yet been absorbed, allow to cook with the lid off for a few moments to allow the
water to be fully incorporated, or evaporate.
3 Now add the butter, okra, and red onions to the pan with the potatoes. Toss
everything together, coating with the butter as it melts.
4 Season with the pepper and garlic powder. Cook for 5 minutes uncovered, stirring
every minute or so to prevent burning. You dont want to over cook the okra or it
will become slimy.
5 After 5 minutes add the syrup to the pan. Toss everything to coat with the
syrup. Then serve and enjoy!
