Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 Degrees
  • Peel and cut the sweet potatoes in medium chunks and place in a large bowl. Drizzle with canola oil and toss to coat evenly. Spread in a 9X13 rectangle casserole dish. Baked for 45 minutes to an hour. Potatoes should be fork tender.
  • In a medium sauce pan, melt the butter. Add the brown sugar, sugar, and molasses. Whisk on medium heat until well mixed. The mixture will begin to caramelize, about 5 minutes. Next add, the bourbon, cinnamon, and allspice, whisk for another 3 minutes. Once the sauce begins to bubble slightly, pour on top of the sweet potatoes. Sprinkle the pecans on top of the sweet potatoes and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Cover with aluminum foil and cook for 25 minutes. Leave the aluminum foil over the dish until ready to serve.
