No holiday table is complete without a cranberry-sweet potato combo, plus this duo is good for both your stomach and your health. Both cranberries and sweet potatoes are great sources of vitamins A and C and complement meaty main dishes well. Plus, they’re super easy to prepare. Six ingredients and 30 minutes are all you need to get these potatoes on the table–and all the cooking is done in the microwave.

Ingredients

* 6  medium peeled sweet potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces (about 3 pounds)
* 1/2  cup  firmly packed brown sugar
* 2  tablespoons  margarine
* 2  tablespoons  orange juice
* 1/2  teaspoon  salt
* 1  cup  whole-berry cranberry sauce
* Orange rind (optional)
