Time 50m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup chopped pecans
4 teaspoons honey
1 cup brown sugar, divided
1 tablespoon white sugar
5 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
¼ cup heavy whipping cream
3 tablespoons butter, cut into cubes
2 tablespoons orange juice
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg, or to taste
⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon, or to taste
1 (10.5 ounce) package miniature marshmallows

Steps:

  • Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Spread pecans out on a baking sheet and drizzle honey over pecans. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon brown sugar and white sugar over the top.
  • Cook pecans in the preheated oven until honey starts to bubble and nuts are fragrant, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove nuts from oven and reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain.
  • Combine sweet potatoes, remaining brown sugar, cream, butter, orange juice, nutmeg, and cinnamon together in a large bowl. Stir pecans into sweet potato mixture. Spread mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish and top with marshmallows.
  • Bake casserole in the oven until marshmallows are golden brown, about 10 minutes.

I found that the casserole was a bit dry. I think I would add more butter or milk next time.

This casserole is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would cut back on the sugar next time.

I love that this recipe uses maple syrup instead of brown sugar. It gives the casserole a more natural sweetness.

This was a hit at our Thanksgiving dinner! I loved the combination of sweet potatoes, brown sugar, and pecans. It was the perfect side dish to our turkey and stuffing.
