Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized sweet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.33 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch thick rounds.
Arrange the sweet potato rounds in a single layer in a large baking dish or sheet pan.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Remove from heat once fully melted.
Stir the maple syrup, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt into the melted butter until well combined.
Pour the maple mixture evenly over the sweet potatoes, making sure each piece is coated.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and gently stir the sweet potatoes to ensure even glazing.
Return to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and slightly caramelized.
If using pecans, sprinkle them over the sweet potatoes in the last 5 minutes of baking for a toasted finish.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy your Maple Glazed Sweet Potatoes!
