Ingredients

  • 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

Directions

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.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 4 stars       11/24/2012   So great! Perfect amount of spicy and sweet.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/23/2011   The recipe can be made through step 2 up to 5 hours ahead. Is there a reason it cannot be made the day before through step 2?  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/18/2010   Has anyone tried this with Splenda brown sugar? I agree with earlier comment that nutritional information with all of the recipes would be so helpful.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/14/2010   They were dee-licious!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/27/2008   These were a delicious addition to Thanksgiving dinner. So good and so easy. I will definitely make these throughout the year!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       12/06/2007   The cayenne is a nice surprise, but be sure to spread it out very thinly so there is not too much on one bite.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/16/2007   being from France I never had anything with marshmallow so for me it doesn't sound very good, although with pecan that sounds really good this is going to be my first time to a Thanks giving dinner and this is going to be my contribution to a side dish  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/14/2007   The added sugar gives the sweet potatoes a candied affect and glaze--it's Thanksgiving--time for a bit of overindulgence!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/14/2007   It sounds great. I like it with marshmellows but will try this one with the pecans instead. Will also try it without the addde sugar. I don't need it.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/14/2007   It is a southern dish which commonly made with brown sugar and sometimes marshmallows.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/13/2007   Why does everyone always cook sweet potatoes with sugar? I like them much better with butter, a touch of garlic, chili powder and chopped roasted pecans. DH won't eat the sweet ones but he'll eat these....
