Recipe: Buttery Pecan Sweet Potatoes

Printer-friendly version Printer-friendly version »

Try this simple buttery sweet potato recipe for your Thanksgiving dinner this year.

Serves 6-8

Ingredients
8 medium sweet potatoes
2 Tbsp olive oil
Coarse salt to taste
2 Tbsp butter, cut into small pieces
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1/3 cup pecans, chopped
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper

Method
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Peel potatoes and halve lengthwise; slice crosswise ½ inch thick. On a baking sheet, toss potatoes with olive oil; season with salt.
  2. Transfer half the potatoes to a second baking sheet; cook both sheets until potatoes are tender, tossing occasionally, about 25 to 30 minutes.
  3. Sprinkle with butter, brown sugar, pecans, and cayenne pepper, dividing evenly. Place baking sheets back in the oven until sugar is caramelized and crisp, about 10 minutes. Gently toss; serve immediately.

No. Sweet potatoes and yams are not related. Sweet potatoes are a member of the potato family and yams are actually related to a tropical vine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Holiday Foodie Tip

Use a thermometer to test the doneness of your turkey to ensure cooking your bird to perfection.

Turkey is cooked fully-through at 165 degrees. Be sure to let the turkey rest before slicing.
