Maple Pecan Melting Sweet Potatoes

Crispy on the outside, melt in your mouth on the inside sweet potatoes covered in a maple pecan sauce!

Sweet potatoes make for great side dishes and I’m always on the lookout for new ways to enjoy them! When I came across the idea for these melting sweet potatoes on Dessert for Two I knew that they would be a hit! I mean what’s not to like? Sweet potatoes? Pecans? Maple syrup? That’s all kinds of goodness in one side dish! The sweet potatoes are sliced into one inch discs and roasted in butter until the tops and bottoms are nice, golden brown and crispy and the inside roasts up nice and melt in your mouth tender and moist! The roasted sweet potatoes would be great just like that but they get even better when you top them in a pecan maple syrup! It’s almost like having dessert as a side dish! These maple pecan melting sweet potatoes will definitely be a new staple in my meals!
