Only 4 ingredients! Caramelized brown sugar sweet potatoes are soft on the inside and tossed with crunchy pecan pieces. Perfect for a quick and yummy Thanksgiving or Christmas side dish.
Scrub sweet potatoes, peel, and dice into 1-2 inch cubes. Transfer potatoes to a large mixing bowl.
Melt salted butter and chop up pecans.
Add brown sugar, chopped pecans and melted butter to sweet potatoes. Mix well to evenly coat sweet potatoes.
Transfer sweet potatoes to a jelly roll pan (10'x15'), and spread them out. Do not overlap the sweet potatoes.
Bake for ~40 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are tender.
Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
Make sure to spread out the sweet potatoes and avoid overlapping. If doubling the recipe, use a half sheet pan or a bigger pan. The size of a jelly roll pan will probably be too small to properly roast all the sweet potatoes.
