Maple Pecan Sweet Potatoes (Printable Version)
# What You'll Need:
→ Maple-Pecan Sauce
01 -
120 ml pure maple syrup
02 -
60 g pecans, roughly chopped
→ Butter Mixture
03 -
4 tablespoons plain butter, melted
04 -
1/2 teaspoon salt
→ Sweet Potatoes
05 -
2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into thick rounds (about 2.5 cm each)
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Move the roasted sweet potatoes onto your favorite serving plate. Pour your warm maple-pecan sauce over them and dig in while they're hot.
02 -
Set a small pot on medium and pour in your maple syrup. Let it come up to a gentle boil, then toss in the pecans. Bring it back to a boil and let it bubble for a minute. Turn off the heat.
03 -
With your tongs, turn each potato piece over. Slide the pan back in for another 20 minutes. They should be toasty on the sides and super soft inside.
04 -
Pop the tray in and roast the sweet potatoes for 20 minutes.
05 -
Pour the melted butter over your sweet potato slices. Sprinkle with salt, then give everything a quick toss. Spread them out again so nothing overlaps.
06 -
Set your sweet potato rounds on the roasting pan so none are touching. Spread them all out in a single layer.
07 -
Fire up your oven to 220°C and grab a roasting pan.
# Additional Tips:

Want more roasted nut flavor? Toast your pecans in a dry skillet for a few minutes before mixing them with the maple syrup.
