Servings: 4
Equipment
- baking sheet
- ramekins or baking dish
Ingredients
- 2 sweet potatoes My 2 were just a little over a pound for the 2 of them.
- 1 cup pecans whole or pieces
- 4 ounces butter
- ⅔ cup brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Wash your sweet potatoes, poke with a fork, and bake. I like to bake them on a baking sheet. Only bake until the are just barely tender.
- Remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Once they are cool enough to touch, peel off the skins. Cube the potatoes into 1-inch cubes.
- Divide them into the ramekins or baking dish. Sprinkle the pecans on top.
- Next, add the butter and brown sugar to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 1 minute. Mix in the cinnamon. This will be thick, don't worry, it finishes cooking in the oven. Spoon it over the top of the sweet potatoes.
- You can have 2 choices. The first is you can bake this right away. 375 degrees for about 20 minutes.
- Or you can wrap these and place them in the fridge for up to 3 days before baking. When you are ready, bake as instructed above.
- That is it! They are done. Both simple and delicious!
