Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
-
Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and peel them. Cut the sweet potatoes into rounds or cubes, whichever you prefer. Place them in the prepared baking dish in an even layer.
-
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the brown sugar, bourbon, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir the mixture until the sugar has dissolved and the ingredients are well combined.
-
Pour the bourbon mixture over the sweet potatoes, making sure all the pieces are coated evenly.
-
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender and caramelized.
-
If desired, sprinkle the chopped pecans over the top of the sweet potatoes during the last 10 minutes of baking. This will add a delightful crunch and extra flavor to the dish.
-
Once the sweet potatoes are cooked through and golden brown, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
