Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Wash the sweet potatoes and peel. Chop the sweet potatoes into 1-inch pieces and place in a roasting pan. Drizzle with the olive oil and season with the salt and pepper. Place the potatoes in the oven and roast until tender, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside. In a large 12-inch saute pan, add the butter and brown sugar. When the butter begins to boil with the sugar, add the pecans and the sweet potatoes. Continue to cook, tossing occasionally, until the potatoes are well glazed, about 3 minutes.
