Ingredients
- 4 Large sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
- 5-6 Tbsp. Cinnamon Better Butter
- 1/2 C. Brown sugar
- 1/4 Tsp. Salt
- Optional: A handful of chopped pecans or walnuts for added texture
Directions
- Preheat the oven – Set it to 400°F. Your kitchen is about to smell amazing.
- Make the glaze – In a small saucepan, melt the Cinnamon Better Butter over low heat. Stir in the brown sugar until it becomes a syrupy, sweet concoction.
- Layer the sweet potatoes – In a baking dish, arrange the sweet potato rounds in a single layer, overlapping slightly. Don’t worry about perfection here; you’re going for comfort.
- Coat with the glaze – Drizzle or brush the sweet, cinnamon-butter goodness over the sweet potatoes, making sure every slice gets a generous coat.
- Season and add nuts – Sprinkle the salt evenly over the sweet potatoes. If you’re feeling extra, toss on some chopped pecans or walnuts for a bit of texture.
- Bake it up – Pop the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. Halfway through, gently stir or flip the rounds so everything caramelizes evenly. The sweet potatoes should be golden brown with crispy edges when they’re done.
- Cool and serve – Let the sweet potatoes sit for a couple of minutes to allow the syrup to thicken. Then serve up this sweet, caramelized goodness.
Cinnamon Brown Sugar Sweet Potatoes are the perfect balance of sweet and savory with a touch of cinnamon spice. Serve them at your next holiday meal, or keep them as your secret weapon for cozy weeknight dinners. Either way, they’ll disappear faster than you can say "seconds, please."
