Butter-Pecan Sweet Potatoes Recipe
I’ve been trying new ways to cook sweet potatoes and these Butter Pecan Sweet Potatoes are by far my favorite!
Serving4
Ingredients
- 4 sweet potatoes
- 4 Tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces
- 4 Tablespoon brown sugar
- ⅔ cup pecan pieces
Instructions
- Boil the sweet potatoes in a large pot of water until they are tender inside (30 to 40 minutes)
- After they are done boiling, let them cool and then peel them.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut the potatoes lengthwise and then slice crosswise 1/2 inch thick.
- Put half of the cut potatoes on the bottom of a 9×13 pan. Place 2 Tablespoons of butter, 2 Tablespoons of brown sugar, and 1/3 of the pecan pieces over the first layer of sweet potatoes. Repeat and layer the rest of your sweet potatoes, butter, brown sugar and pecans. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
- Let cool a little before serving!
Notes
- Walnuts would also work in place of pecans
