Butter Pecan Sweet Potatoes Recipe

The perfect balance between sugary and crunchy, this Butter Pecan Sweet Potatoes recipe will be your new favorite Thanksgiving side dish – or maybe your new favorite main dish, ever.

Ingredients

  • 8 medium sweet potatoes, 5 lbs.
  • 2-3 TBSP olive oil
  • coarse sea salt
  • 3 TBSP butter, melted
  • 3 TBSP brown sugar
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 c. pecan pieces

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Peel the sweet potatoes and quarter lengthwise, then cut into cubes about 1/2 inch thick.
  • Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on two baking sheets. Toss the potatoes with olive oil and season with sea salt.
  • Cook both sheets until potatoes are tender, tossing occasionally, 25-30 minutes.

  • Toss the potatoes together in a large bowl and check for seasoning, add more salt if needed. Serve immediately.
