Ingredients:

• 4 large sweet potatoes
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

Warm the oven up to 190C 375F

Clean the sweet potatoes well and use a paper towel to dry them

Use a fork to make several holes in the sweet potatoes

Put the sweet potatoes on a foil-covered baking sheet

Place in an oven that has already been heated for 45 to 60 minutes, or until soft

In the meantime, melt the butter and mix it with the brown sugar, chopped pecans, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl

Cut the sweet potatoes out of the oven and let them cool down a bit

Make a cut down the middle of each sweet potato, but don't go all the way through

Fill each sweet potato with the butter and pecan mixture that you just made

Put the stuffed sweet potatoes back in the oven and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, until the topping is bubbly and golden

Enjoy while hot!
