Description

Ingredients

• 4 Medium Sweet Potatoes, peeled and spiralized
• 2 Tbs. Organic Butter Melted (Substitute Coconut Oil to make this vegan)
• 1 Tbs. Pure Maple Syrup
• 1 Tbs. Organic Coconut Sugar or Raw Cane Sugar
• ½ Tsp. Cinnamon
• 1½ Cups Raw Pecans (chopped or whole is okay)
• 2 Tbs. Pure Maple Syrup
• 1 Can Coconut Cream
• ¾ Cup Powdered Sugar

Directions

• Place spiralized sweet potatoes, butter, maple syrup coconut sugar and cinnamon in a mixing bowl and gently stir.
• Transfer seasoned sweet potatoes to a baking dish, and bake at 375 degrees F for 10-15 minutes, or until potatoes are softened (this may take a bit longer depending on your oven).
• Turn your oven to a broil 400 degrees F - and cook for 10 minutes longer, or until sweet potatoes are slightly crispy.
• Place pecans in a frying pan and roast them for about five minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add 2 Tbs. maple syrup and cook for five more minutes, stirring occasionally until maple syrup crystalizes around pecans - they should have a grainy texture. Immediately remove from heat and set aside in a separate bowl.
• Open can of cream coconut and scoop the top layer of coconut cream out into a mixing bowl or kitchen aid. Beat the cream until it has a whipped consistency and then add sugar. Continue to whip and add about 2 Tbs. of the remaining liquid from the can of creamed coconut. When it is finished, coconut sauce should have a texture like a thick salad dressing.
• Pour about ½ of the sweet coconut cream over the cooked sweet potatoes - I do not recommend pouring all of the coconut sauce over the sweet potatoes - leave some on the side in a pouring cup for others to add more to their casserole serving if they would like extra sweetness.
• Sprinkle candied pecan topping on top and you are ready to serve. Serve hot!
