Scale
- 8 large sweet potatoes, peeled
- 1/2 c. canola oil
- 2 1/2 sticks butter
- 1 1/2 c. light brown sugar
- 1/2 c. sugar
- 1 tbsp. Unsulfured molasses
- 1/4 c. Bourbon
- 1 1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. All spice
- 1/3 c. pecan pieces
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 Degrees
- Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into medium chunks and place in a large bowl. Drizzle with canola oil and toss to coat evenly. Spread in a 9X13 rectangle casserole dish and cover with aluminum foil. Bake for 45 minutes to an hour. Potatoes should be fork-tender.
- In a medium saucepan on medium-low heat, melt the butter. Add the brown sugar, sugar, and molasses. Whisk on medium heat until well mixed. The mixture will begin to caramelize after about 5 minutes.
- Next, add the bourbon and the spices, and whisk for another 3 minutes. Once the sauce begins to bubble slightly, pour on top of the sweet potatoes.
- Sprinkle the pecans on top of the sweet potatoes and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Cover with aluminum foil and cook for 25 minutes. Leave the aluminum foil over the dish until ready to serve.
