Baked Sweet Potatoes with Cinnamon Maple Butter & Pecans
These baked sweet potatoes are the perfect side dish! They're topped with homemade cinnamon maple butter and toasted pecans.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 large sweet potatoes
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature
- 1½ tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch of kosher salt
- 1 cup pecans, chopped
Instructions
- Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil. This makes cleanup so much easier! Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Place the sweet potatoes on the lined sheet pan, arranging them so there is a gap in the middle of the pan. Poke each sweet potato with a fork a few times.
- Place the pan in the oven and bake the sweet potatoes until they’re tender and easily pierced with a fork, about 60 to 65 minutes.
- While the sweet potatoes bake, mix the butter, maple syrup, powdered sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Once the sweet potatoes are done, dump the chopped pecans onto the middle of the sheet pan and bake for 2 more minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and let the sweet potatoes cool for a couple minutes.
- Cut the sweet potatoes in half and arrange them skin side down. Top them with cinnamon maple butter and pecans. Enjoy immediately!
