Roasted Sweet Potato with Candied Pecans
“Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. My husband has joked that it’s my Super Bowl. I make a mean spatchcocked, dry-brined turkey, but to be honest, my favorite things at Thanksgiving—other than the time with family—are the sides, especially my sweet potatoes with candied pecan topping. What makes these sweet potatoes different from most is roasting them in the oven first and the addition of orange. Roasting brings out the natural sweetness and keeps the bright color, while the orange gives them that little something extra.” — Khela
