BAKED SWEET POTATOES WITH RAISINS AND PECANS



Baked Sweet Potatoes With Raisins and Pecans image

A fresh alternative to a classic Thanksgiving side dish. I do not take credit for this recipe, I did not create it. I found this recipe online years ago and have been making it ever since. I have used both Yams and Sweet Potatoes. Yams give a little more color contrast to the dish. This recipe can easily be made Vegan by omitting the butter :-)

BAKED SWEET POTATOES WITH BROWN SUGAR-PECAN BUTTER



Baked Sweet Potatoes With Brown Sugar-Pecan Butter image

After moving to Texas from the north, I was introduced to baked sweet potatoes as a side dish, a nice change from the usual baking potato. These are "baked" in the microwave, a real time-saver!

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 17m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons softened butter
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped pecans, toasted

Steps:

  • Try this method for toasting the pecans: Sprinkle chopped pecans on a paper plate and microwave on high for 1 or 2 minutes, they should smell toasted when they are done.
  • Scrub, but do not peel, the potatoes.
  • Pierce them in several places with a fork.
  • Microwave on HIGH for 12 minutes until done.
  • Meanwhile, combine the butter, sugar, and pecans.
  • Once potatoes are done, slice length wise, about 2/3 of the way down (do not cut through) and push end toward each other to "fluff" the potato and create a well for the butter.
  • Place a scoop of butter mixture into the center and wrap in foil until serving.
