Candied Sweet Potatoes

This is the best sweet potato recipe I’ve ever had. My kids love them too. It is basically like candy to them. So good.

To make the pecan topping, in a bowl mix all the ingredients together.

1

Spread the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and pour the melted butter and olive oil all over.

2

Sprinkle the brown sugar, ground ginger and salt, and bake.

3

Remove the baking sheet from the oven, sprinkle with the pecan topping and bake again.

4

Serve and enjoy!

Serve and enjoy!

I use unsalted butter. However, you can use salted butter if that is what you have handy. Just season the sweet potatoes lightly with salt.
