PUMPKIN PIE SPICED SWEET POTATOES

This recipe will take an hour or a little more but over half that time is in the oven.

Ingredients

• 3 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch-thick slices
• 6 Tablespoons Land O'Lakes® Pumpkin Spice Butter
• 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 1/4 cup apple juice
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F and coat a baking sheet with oil or cooking spray.
2. Place the sweet potatoes in a large bowl.
3. Gently melt the butter in a small bowl in the microwave or in a small pan on the stove over low heat. It melts fast, so watch closely.
4. Pour the butter over the sweet potatoes, sprinkle with salt, and toss till they are evenly coated. Place potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet.
5. Bake at 425°F for 20 minutes. Flip and bake for another 20 minutes.
6. In a small bowl, stir together the apple juice, maple syrup, and pecans. Pour over the potatoes and return to the over for another 5-10 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and caramelized.
