Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 pounds small sweet potatoes (about 6)
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Kosher salt
1/3 cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Pierce the sweet potatoes all over with a fork and microwave on high until cooked through, 8 to 12 minutes, turning them over halfway through the cooking time. Start checking for doneness during the last 4 minutes of cooking time. They should feel soft when you squeeze them. Cut into thick rounds and arrange decoratively in a small or medium baking dish.
  • Stir together the melted butter, honey, cinnamon, allspice, ginger and 1/4 teaspoon salt until smooth. Pour over the potatoes and toss to coat. Roast until the honey butter is bubbly and the potatoes are glazed, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and top with pecans.
