Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons bourbon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.33 cup pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into 1-inch thick rounds or wedges.
Place the sweet potatoes in a single layer in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar, maple syrup, bourbon, cinnamon, and salt. Cook until the mixture begins to bubble, then remove it from the heat.
Pour the bourbon glaze evenly over the sweet potatoes, ensuring all pieces are coated.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and gently stir the sweet potatoes to coat them again with the glaze. If using pecans, scatter them evenly over the top.
Bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender and slightly caramelized.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Spoon any extra glaze over the sweet potatoes for added flavor.
