Whenever I try to talk my kiddos into trying sweet potatoes (both of them have a ridiculous aversion to any form of potato-ish texture food), I so strategically call them "candy" potatoes! However, as appetizing as it sounds, they never fall for it! I don't understand it...I love sweet potatoes, especially when paired with pecans or a little brown sugar. Try this amazing recipe for your holiday menu, I know I will be!
Preheat Oven 350 degrees
Ingredients:
3 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into cube
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
3 tbsp grass-fed butter
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp Himalayan sea salt
Pecan Topping:
1 cup raw pecans
1 tbsp pure maple syrup
Directions: Peel and boil sweet potatoes until soft. Drain and add remaining ingredients to the potatoes. Mash with potato masher or immersion blender. Spread evenly in a greased casserole dish.
Heat pecans in a small pan over medium heat for 30s, add maple syrup to coat and let boil. Once boiling, remove from heat. Spread pecans on a baking sheet to cool. Once cool, top potato mixture with pecans. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake for 20 minutes.
ENJOY!!
