Ingredients needed to make Cranberry Pecan Sweet Potato Bake:

• Sweet Potatoes
• Butter
• Brown Sugar
• Honey
• Olive Oil
• Craisins
• Chopped Pecans

How to make Cranberry Pecan Sweet Potato Bake:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a 9 x 13 inch pan, with nonstick cooking spray.
• Peel all the potatoes, with a potato peeler, then slice them into thin rounds. These should be less than 1/4 inch wide.
• In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, honey, and olive oil. Mix until fully incorporated.
• Lay out your potato slices on the bottom of the pan. Make sure you only do one layer of the sweet potatoes.
• For the second layer of the sweet potatoes, add your Craisins and your chopped pecans. I used about 1/2 cup of Craisins and 1/3 cup of pecans for the first layer.
• Drizzle about 3 Tablespoons of the brown sugar liquid over the first layer, of the bake.
• Repeat this process until there are no more sweet potatoes left. If you have extra Craisins and crunchy pecans left over, place them on top of the casserole.
• Pour the remaining brown sugar drizzle, on top.
• Spray the top layer, with a little extra non-stick cooking spray.
• Place in oven and allow it to cook for about 35 – 40 minutes.
