Ingredients

1 cup pecans, roughly chopped ((sub walnuts))
1/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp. maple syrup, divided
3/4 tsp. kosher salt, divided
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon, divided
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
2 lbs. sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced crosswise into ½" rounds
2 medium shallots, peeled and quartered
2 Tbsp. olive oil
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
Orange or lime zest for garnish (optional)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 425ºF. Line a small baking sheet or plate with parchment paper. Combine pecans, 1/4 cup maple syrup, 1/4 tsp. salt, 1/4 tsp. cinnamon, and cayenne in a small saucepan. Cook mixture over medium-high until bubbly and thickened, about 4 to 5 minutes. Pour onto parchment paper and spread in an even layer. Allow mixture to cool completely while you prepare remainder of recipe.
Toss sweet potatoes and shallots with olive oil and remaining 1/2 tsp. salt. Spread evenly on a large rimmed baking sheet, avoiding too much overlap, if possible. Bake until sweet potatoes are almost tender, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, microwave butter in a small bowl until melted. Stir in remaining 2 Tbsp. maple syrup and 1/4 tsp. cinnamon. Remove sweet potatoes from oven and brush with maple butter. Flip the sweet potato slices over, then brush the other side with remaining maple butter. Place back in the oven for 10 more minutes, until browned and caramelized.
Transfer roasted sweet potatoes and shallots to a serving platter and scatter pecan praline mixture overtop. Garnish with orange or lime zest, if desired.

Tips:

To ensure your sweet potatoes are evenly cooked, select potatoes that are similar in size.
Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork before microwaving. This allows steam to escape and helps prevent the potatoes from bursting.
If you prefer a crispy exterior, brush the sweet potatoes with melted butter before baking.
For a sweeter dish, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
Toasted pecans add a delicious crunch to the dish. If you don't have time to toast them, you can use store-bought chopped pecans.
Mini marshmallows add a fun and gooey texture to the dish. If you don't have mini marshmallows, you can use regular marshmallows cut into small pieces.
Serve the sweet potatoes warm with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream for a truly decadent dessert.
