Paleo Candied Sweet Potatoes with Pecans
Ingredients
- 3 med-large sweet potatoes
- 2-3 tbsp melted coconut oil for roasting the potatoes
- generous pinch salt
- 1 cup raw pecans chopped
- 1 cup pitted dates chopped (soften first if they’re very hard, soak in water)
- 1/4 cup coconut oil melted
- 1-2 Tbsp pure maple syrup depending on level of sweetness you want
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
- First, preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Peel your sweet potatoes and cut into 1/2-1 inch cubes for roasting.
- Toss the sweet potato cubes with the 2-3 Tbsp melted coconut oil and dash of salt, and spread on a parchment lined baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 25 minutes until tender.
- While the sweet potatoes are roasting, combine the chopped pecans and dates in a medium bowl and stir in the 1/4 cup melted coconut oil, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla and coconut flakes
- When the sweet potatoes are done roasting, remove from oven and turn down the heat to 350 degrees.
- Transfer the sweet potatoes to a 9 inch baking dish and sprinkle the pecan-date mixture over them generously.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until toasty and lightly browned on top.
- Serve and enjoy anytime, not just the holidays!
