Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes peeled and cut into ½-inch thick slices
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 cup pecans finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a small bowl, melt the butter. Add the maple syrup and cinnamon and whisk to combine.
- Brush the butter mixture on both sides of the sweet potato slices and arrange them on a sheet pan, spacing them at least an inch apart.
- There should be some of the butter mixture leftover. Stir in the brown sugar, then add the pecans to it. Use a spoon to stir until well coated.
- Place the sweet potatoes in the oven and roast for 12 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and use a thin-set spatula to carefully turn the slices over.
- Evenly divide the pecans between the sweet potato slices, topping each one with pecans. Place the pan back in the oven and roast for 8 more minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven and serve warm.
