2 tablespoons melted butter
Salt and pepper, to taste
¼ cup maple syrup
1 tablespoon brown sugar (adjust to taste)
½ cup chopped pecans
Instructions
Prep: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Season Sweet Potatoes: Toss the sweet potato slices in melted butter, seasoning with salt and pepper. Arrange them in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake: Roast the sweet potatoes for 20 minutes, until the bottoms are beginning to brown.
Add Maple Syrup Mixture: In a bowl, combine the maple syrup, brown sugar, and chopped pecans. Flip the sweet potato slices over and divide the maple syrup mixture evenly over them.
