From Cart to Kitchen: Feast Without the Fuss with Kroger Delivery

From Cart to Kitchen: Feast Without the Fuss with Kroger Delivery

By Last Updated

The holidays are a whirlwind of activity that sneak up and vanish in the blink of an eye. We prepare for the food-laden celebrations – shopping, cooking, serving each dish beautifully – and then tackle the cleanup. I’m exhausted just thinking about it!

Time is one thing that is never plentiful during the holidays. If I could find extra hours to do everything, then I could relax and fully enjoy those moments more.

I decided to try Kroger Delivery to save time and make shopping a little easier. I settled at my laptop with my list, and with a few clicks, filled my cart with everything needed for Thanksgiving dinner and fun-filled festivities. It only took 20 minutes! And I scored extra savings with clickable coupons that popped up by the items I was purchasing.

With the time I saved, I cleaned up and prepped my workspace, ready to jump right into cooking. A cheerful Kroger Delivery driver brought it all right to my door, as scheduled. Once everything was put away, we rolled up our sleeves to make our favorite sweet potato tian – see the recipe below – it’s pretty and tasty.

Enjoy your holidays more by shopping online and letting Kroger Delivery do the heavy lifting for you. For more fun fall favorites, visit Kroger.com/f/fall-shop.

Ingredients

  • 5 large sweet potatoes (approximately 4 pounds), peeled and cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
  • 1 tub (5.5 ounces) Private Selection™ Premium Butter with Honey & Cinnamon
  • 1 orange, zested and juiced
  • 1 tablespoon Private Selection Pure Grade A Amber Color Rich Taste Maple Syrup
  • 1 teaspoon Private Selection Sea Salt Grinder
  • Divided 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Chopped fresh thyme

Directions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease 2-quart round or oval baking dish.

Step 2: Arrange sweet potato slices upright in prepared baking dish. Pack slices tightly, using smaller or partial slices to fill gaps.

Step 3: In small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt butter. Remove from heat. Add 1/4 cup orange juice, 1 tablespoon orange zest, maple syrup and 1/2 teaspoon salt; whisk until smooth.

Step 4: Pour butter mixture over sweet potatoes. Season with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Cover baking dish tightly with foil.

Step 5: Bake until potatoes are almost cooked through and tender, about 1 hour. Remove foil and increase heat to 400°F. Bake, uncovered, until edges are slightly crisp and golden brown, about 30 minutes.

Step 6: Garnish with thyme and serve warm, refrigerating any leftovers
