You all know how much I love me some sweet potatoes. I like them savory or sweet. This would be an ideal side dish for Turkey day later this week. These babies won't disappoint!

Adapted by: http://kimmccrary.blogspot.com/2010/05/perfect-day.html
Ingredients
5 pounds sweet potatoes
olive oil
course salt
2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/3 cup chopped pecans
1/8 teaspoon red cayenne pepper
Directions
-Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
-Peel potatoes and halve lengthwise; slice crosswise 1/2 inch thick. On a baking sheet, toss potatoes with olive oil and season with salt.
-Transfer half the potatoes to a second baking sheet; cook both sheets until potatoes are tender, tossing occasionally, 25-30 minutes.
-Sprinkle with butter, brown sugar, pecan pieces and cayenne pepper, dividing evenly. Bake until sugar is carmelized and hard, about 10 minutes. Toss gently; serve immediately.
Enjoy! :)
