CANDIED SWEET POTATOES WITH PECANS



Candied Sweet Potatoes with Pecans image

This is my favorite style of a Thanksgiving or Christmas time sweet potato side dish, since I'm not really a big fan of whipped sweet potatoes with marshmallow toppings. This is a very sweet dish (candied) but more to my liking. The spice and pecans add a whole new level of taste and texture.

Time 2h20m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 pounds orange-fleshed sweet potatoes
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
½ cup chopped pecans
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
2 teaspoons unsalted butter, softened

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Prick potatoes several times with a fork and place on a baking sheet.
  • Bake potatoes in the preheated oven until you can easily pierce them halfway through with a sharp knife, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven and allow to cool until easily handled, at least 20 minutes. Leave the oven on.
  • Meanwhile, mix brown sugar, 1/2 cup butter, pecans, and pumpkin pie spice for topping in a bowl until thoroughly combined.
  • Peel the cooled sweet potatoes and cut crosswise into 3/4-inch thick slices.
  • Lightly grease a 9x13-inch ceramic or glass baking dish with 2 teaspoons butter. Spread potato slices in a single layer in the dish and spoon a bit of topping over each slice. Add remaining potato slices in a second layer and sprinkle with remaining topping.
  • Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until bubbly and browned, about 20 minutes. Use a serving spoon to dish this out, making sure to get to some of the sauce from the bottom for each serving.

SLOW-COOKER SPICED SWEET POTATOES WITH PECANS



Slow-Cooker Spiced Sweet Potatoes with Pecans image

Candied sweet potatoes have long been a celebrated side dish during the holiday season but we have removed some of the sweetness (no marshmallows!) and made them even easier by cooking them in a slow cooker. We cut the potatoes into thick rounds so they hold up during the cooking process. The resulting tender sweet potatoes glazed with butter and spices are just sweet enough to make them the perfect accompaniment to your favorite poultry or pork dish.

Time 4h30m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Kosher salt
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 pounds medium sweet potatoes (about 7), peeled and sliced into 1-inch thick rounds
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup orange juice
1 cup pecan halves

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Stir together the dark brown sugar, cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Stir together the melted butter and vanilla extract in another small bowl.
  • Toss the sweet potatoes with the cornstarch in a large mixing bowl. Put 1 layer of the sweet potatoes on the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker. Drizzle with a third of the butter mixture then sprinkle with a third of the brown sugar mixture. Repeat to make 2 more layers. (If there are not enough sweet potatoes to make a complete third layer, that is okay.)
  • Cover the slow cooker and cook on low until the sweet potatoes are tender but not mushy, about 4 hours.
  • Meanwhile, spread the pecans out on a baking sheet and bake until very golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool and finely chop.
  • When the sweet potatoes are tender, gently stir in the orange juice. Transfer the potatoes to a shallow serving dish and allow to sit for 10 minutes (the sauce will thicken as it sits). Toss the potatoes in the sauce to coat, sprinkle with the chopped pecans and serve.
