A delightful twist on the classic baked sweet potato, enhanced with a flavorful glaze and a crunchy topping.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the perfect texture.
Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry.
Drying the sweet potatoes helps them bake evenly.
Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for about 50 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
Check for doneness by inserting a fork into the thickest part of the potato.
In a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, butter, and honey to create the glaze.
Ensure the butter is softened for easier mixing.
Once the sweet potatoes are baked, slice them open lengthwise and gently fluff the insides with a fork.
Fluffing the insides allows the glaze to seep in for more flavor.
Drizzle the glaze over the sweet potatoes and sprinkle the chopped pecans on top.
For an extra crunch, toast the pecans before adding them.
Serve the sweet potatoes warm and enjoy.
Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
