Share:
Ingredients
- 4 pounds sweet potatoes peeled
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar firmly packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup real maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup toasted pecans chopped, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Slice the sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Set aside.
- Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven over medium-low heat.
- Remove from heat.
- Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt to a medium bowl, and stir to combine.
- Add the sliced sweet potatoes and the sugar mixture to the Dutch oven.
- Toss to coat.
- Cover, and bake, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are tender, about 25-30 minutes.
- Uncover, and continue to bake until the liquid forms a thin syrup, about 15-20 minutes longer.
- Sprinkle with toasted pecans just before serving, if using.
Notes
- If you don't have a Dutch oven, a covered, oven-safe pot will work.
- Butter: I use salted butter. If using unsalted butter, increase the salt to 1/2 teaspoon.
- Brown sugar: Light or dark brown sugar will work.
- Pecans: There's a section on how to toast pecans above the recipe.
- Dutch oven: If you don't have a Dutch oven, a covered, oven-safe pot will work.
