If cinnamon rolls and sweet potatoes had a baby, this cinnamon roll sweet potatoes recipe would be it. The sweet potatoes are perfectly tender and taste amazing with the spices, butter and simple glaze.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
Spray a glass baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Add the peeled and cubed sweet potatoes to the prepared baking dish.
In a small sauce pot, over medium/low heat, combine butter, light brown sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla, maple syrup and water. Stir well.
Once the sauce comes to a light boil, add the crushed pecans and remove from the heat.
Pour the butter pecan sauce over the potatoes.
Bake uncovered for 15 minutes at 425.
Reduce the heat to 400, stir the potatoes around in the dish, place back in the oven and bake for another 25-30 minutes.
Total cooking time is 40-45 minutes.
While the potatoes are baking, prepare the glaze
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, melted butter, vanilla, and half and half. Whisk until smooth, no lumps.
Remove the potatoes form the oven. They should be fork tender.
Let them cool for 5-10 minutes.
Top with a drizzle of the glaze and serve warm.
