Recipe courtesy of Finally!5-06

• 1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch slices
• 1/2 cup fat-free half-and-half
• 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon light tub margarine 

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Arrange the sweet potato slices in even layers on the bottom of a non-stick 8-inch round or square baking dish.

In a small bowl, whisk together the half-and-half, brown sugar, orange zest, cinnamon and nutmeg.  Pour the mixture over the sweet potatoes.  Dot with the margarine.

Bake uncovered for 35- to 40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender, stirring once halfway through the baking time.
