Harvest Maple Pecan Sweet Potatoes

There’s something about Thanksgiving at Jumbo’s that feels extra special. The crisp air, golden leaves, and the comforting aroma of sweet potatoes baking in the oven. This simple and delicious recipe brings all the warmth of the season to your table. Creamy mashed sweet potatoes, rich maple syrup, and a buttery pecan topping come together for a dish that’s as beautiful as it is irresistible.

Ingredients
4 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
4 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons maple syrup
Salt to taste
1 cup chopped pecans
2 tablespoons brown sugar

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Boil the sweet potatoes until fork tender, then drain and mash them until smooth. Stir in butter, cinnamon, vanilla, and two tablespoons of the maple syrup. Spread the mixture into a baking dish and set aside.

In a small pan, combine the chopped pecans, brown sugar, and remaining maple syrup over medium heat. Stir gently until the pecans are lightly caramelized and coated in the syrupy glaze. Spoon the pecan mixture evenly over the mashed sweet potatoes.

Bake uncovered for about 20 minutes, until the top is golden and bubbling slightly around the edges. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Serving Suggestion
Serve warm alongside roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce for the perfect Thanksgiving plate. The sweet, nutty topping pairs beautifully with the savory dishes on your table.
