Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time30 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 3 medium sweet potatoes (cut into 1" cubes)
  • ¼ red onion (chopped into 1" pieces)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 pinch nutmeg
  • 1 pinch salt
  • ¼ cup chopped pecans
  • ¼ teaspoon brown sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 °F
  • Lightly spray a foil-lined baking sheet with nonstick spray.
  • Stir together the sweet potato cubes, the red onion, olive oil, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a large bowl. Spread in an even layer on the baking sheet and bake for about 30 minutes, stirring once at the 15-minute mark.
  • At the end, stir in the pecans and the sugar.
  • If you want, you can lightly toast the chopped pecans in a skillet over medium heat, or you can roast whole pecans on a baking sheet in the oven at 350 °F for about 8 minutes before chopping them. Toasted pecans add a nice depth of flavor.
