Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 medium sweet potatoes (5 pounds)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Coarse salt
2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
2 tablespoons light-brown sugar
1/3 cup pecan pieces
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Peel potatoes and halve lengthwise; slice crosswise 1/2 inch thick. On a baking sheet, toss potatoes with olive oil; season with coarse salt.
  • Transfer half the potatoes to a second baking sheet; cook both sheets until potatoes are tender, tossing occasionally, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with butter, brown sugar, pecan pieces, and cayenne pepper, dividing evenly. Bake until sugar is caramelized and hard, about 10 minutes. Gently toss; serve immediately.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sweet potatoes didn't turn out very good. They were bland and the pecans were too crunchy.

These were good, but not great. I think I would have liked them better if I had used a different type of sweet potato.

I followed the recipe exactly and my sweet potatoes turned out mushy. I think I would have been better off roasting them.
