Steps:
- Place a large pot over medium heat. Add the sweet potatoes, coconut milk, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, cayenne, cloves, and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt to the pot. Stir to combine.
- Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
- Remove pot from heat and remove lid. Let cool until a bit safer to handle - I give it about 5 minutes.
- While the potatoes are cooling a bit, make the maple-pecan drizzle. Place the pecans and 1/3 cup maple syrup in a small saucepan and set over low heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until warm and bubbling, a couple of minutes (depending on your stove top). Remove from heat.
- Using a hand mixer, whip the potatoes, starting on low speed and then gradually increasing to high speed to help decrease splatter. Be careful! Note that if you have a non-stick pan, you may want to transfer the potatoes to a bowl first so you don't risk getting any teflon in your potatoes. Teflon potatoes bad!
- Taste the potatoes and add more salt if desired. Scoop into a serving bowl and spoon the warm maple-pecan drizzle over the top. Serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: Leave enough space between the sweet potatoes so they can roast properly and get crispy.
- Roast the sweet potatoes until they are tender: Pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork or knife to check for doneness. They should be soft and easily pierced.
- Make the coconut pecan topping while the sweet potatoes are roasting: This will save you time and ensure that the topping is nice and warm when you serve the sweet potatoes.
- Serve the sweet potatoes immediately: They are best enjoyed hot out of the oven, topped with the warm coconut pecan topping.
Conclusion:
These coconut pecan sweet potatoes are a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are roasted to perfection and topped with a sweet and crunchy coconut pecan topping. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
