Ingredients
- 2 lb sweet potatoes peeled and thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup fresh orange juice or pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup maple syrup or honey
- 2 tbsp coconut oil melted
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- Kosher salt and ground pepper to taste
- ½ cup Chopped Pecans
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F and lightly grease a medium oven-safe dish with coconut oil.
- Place the sweet potatoes in the prepared dish and season with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, whisk the fresh juice, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Pour the maple mixture over the sweet potatoes and toss to coat.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 45-50 minutes, gently tossing into the potatoes halfway.
- Once the time is up, the potatoes should be fork-tender. Remove and gently toss with the pecans.
- Return to the oven and bake uncovered for 8-10 more minutes, or until slightly caramelized on top.
Notes
- Serving size: 1 cup
- Maple syrup: you can use honey or brown sugar instead. to keep it vegan friendly, do use maple syrup or brown sugar
- Pecans: you may replace pecans with walnuts
- The thicker the sweet potatoes slices the more time it will need to bake
- Any other bland oil may be used instead of coconut oil
- Store the remainder in the fridge for up to one week.
