Time 1h

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 large sweet potatoes (about 2 1/4 pounds), scrubbed
3 tablespoons maple syrup
3 tablespoons lime juice
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Oil a baking dish large enough to accommodate the sweet potatoes in a single layer. Cut the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise, then into wedges if they're fat. Combine the maple syrup, lime juice and water, and toss with the sweet potatoes in the baking dish until they are thoroughly coated. Cover the dish tightly with foil, and bake 45 minutes until tender.
  • Turn up the heat to 425 degrees. Uncover the dish, baste the sweet potatoes with the syrup in the baking dish and sprinkle on the pecans. Continue to bake uncovered until the sweet potatoes are thoroughly tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and serve, or allow to cool slightly before serving.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but the sweet potatoes turned out really mushy.

I followed the recipe but the sweet potatoes didn't turn out as good as I expected. I think I might have overcooked them.

These sweet potatoes were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would use less maple syrup next time.

I added a little bit of cinnamon and nutmeg to the maple glaze and it was delicious! I highly recommend trying this recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly and the sweet potatoes turned out perfectly. They were soft and fluffy on the inside and had a nice caramelized crust on the outside.
