Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 sweet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons butter (at room temperature)
  • 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar (plus more for topping)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¾ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Chopped pecans (for topping)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork a few times and place on a baking tray. Bake until soft, about 45-50 minutes.
  • Once cooked, cut the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise, and scoop out the flesh of all the sweet potatoes into a bowl leaving the skin intact and some sweet potatoes inside.
  • Add butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, salt and black pepper on top of the sweet potato flesh and use a fork to combine well.
  • Scoop the mashed sweet potato mixture into the sweet potato skins. Sprinkle with more brown sugar and pecans and return to the oven until the sugar dissolves and the potato skins get crisp, about 10-15 more minutes.
