Makes 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds sweet potatoes peeled and sliced into 1/2 inch rounds
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/3 cup chopped pecans optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and butter a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Arrange the sweet potato rounds in overlapping rows in the dish.
  • Stir together the melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Pour evenly over the potatoes.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  • Uncover, scatter the pecans over the top if using, and bake 15 more minutes, until fork-tender and the glaze bubbles at the edges.
  • Spoon the pan glaze back over the top before serving.

Good to Know

Slice the sweet potatoes a day ahead and store submerged in cold water in the fridge, so they do not discolor before baking.
