Muffin Pan Maple Pecan Sweet Potato Gratin
From: Kevin Lynch @ www.closetcooking.com/
Sweet potatoes are a classic ingredient for side dishes for holiday dinners and instead of going with the usual casserole how about these muffin pan maple pecan sweet potato gratins for a change? The sweet potatoes are sliced and stacked in muffin tins with a tasty maple, butter and cream sauce and topped with pecans before being baked until nice and melt in your mouth good! I like to use a large muffin pan as they are nicely sized for medium sweet potatoes and they make stacks that are perfectly portioned for an individual. These individual muffin pan maple pecan sweet potato gratins are a super easy and irresistibly good side for any dinner!
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup cream
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
3 sweet potatoes, sliced 1/8 inch thick
1/3 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
Directions
Heat the mixture of the brown sugar, maple syrup, butter, cream and cinnamon in a small sauce pan until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved.
Toss the sweet potato slices in the mixture and stack them in a muffin pan pouring the remaining sauce evenly over the stacks before sprinkling on the pecans.
Bake in a preheated 375F/190C oven until the sweet potatoes are tender, the tops are a light golden brown and the sides are bubbling, about 20-30 minutes.
Option: Replace the pecans with walnuts.
Option: Instead of a simple nut topping do a nut crumble topping! (1/4 cup flour, 1/4 cup rolled oats, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons melted butter)
