Ingredients
- 3 medium sweet potatoes peeled
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 4 Tablespoons honey
- 1/3 cup chopped pecans
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400º.
- Peel your sweet potatoes and cut into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
- Mix together the melted butter, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, salt. Toss the sweet potato rounds in the mixture until everything is well coated.
- Arrange the sweet potato slices on a baking sheet in a single layer. You should leave a little space between to slices so that the potatoes have a chance to brown. If they are too close they will steam and not cook properly. Bake them for 25-30 minutes or until fork tender.
- While the potatoes are cooking, mix maple syrup, honey, chopped pecans, nutmeg, remaining cinnamon, and thyme in a bowl.
- Top each sweet potato slice with about 1 teaspoon of the pecan & syrup mix and return the baking pan to the oven. Bake for another 10 minutes or until the sweet potatoes look well caramelized around the edges.
- These can be served alone or topped with optional feta or goat cheese.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
