INGREDIENTS:
1 cup chopped pecans
¾ cup fresh or frozen cranberries
½ cup packed light brown sugar
2 pounds sweet potatoes (about 2-3 large)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons maple syrup
¾ teaspoon packed, finely grated orange zest (from about half of a large orange)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
DIRECTIONS:
Pre-heat the oven to 425°F. Coat a 9-inch pie or baking dish with butter; set aside.
In a small mixing bowl add pecans, cranberries and brown sugar, toss to combine and set aside.
Peel 2-3 sweet potatoes and slice evenly into 1/8-inch-thick rounds place in the pie pan, set aside.
Melt together over the stove top or in the microwave the butter, maple syrup, orange zest, salt and cinnamon. Pour over the potato slices and gently toss. Spread potatoes evenly in the pan. I laid mine in rows and they were leaning against each other check out the images to get an idea.
Top the sweet potatoes with brown sugar mixture. Cover with foil and bake in pre-heat oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil after it has baked for 25 minutes and bake for an additional 20 minutes uncovered.
Remove from oven, let it sit for 5 minutes and serve.
Easy to make the day before and reheat.
