So let\u2019s put them together! We have the perfect dish to do it, too: Hasselback Maple Pecan Sweet Potatoes.<\/p>\n<p>The hasselback method is one of our favorites \u2013 remember our Smoky Hasselback Potatoes, Hasselback Chicken and Easy Hasselback Baked Apples?! \u2013 and it\u2019s the perfect way of getting all that flavor mixed in with the delicious orange spud. Plus, the slicing and baking method gives the sweet potatoes a fantastic combination of creamy and crispy that\u2019s the epitome of fall food. We can\u2019t praise this one enough, so let\u2019s stop talking and start cooking! Watch us make it, then read on for the recipe.<\/p>\n<p>HASSELBACK MAPLE PECAN SWEET POTATOES<br \/>\nServes 2<br \/>\nPrep Time: 5 minutes<br \/>\nTotal Time: 45 minutes<\/p>\n<p>INGREDIENTS<\/p>\n<p>2 medium sweet potatoes<br \/>\n1 tablespoon vegetable oil<br \/>\nSalt and black pepper, to taste<br \/>\n2 tablespoons butter, melted<br \/>\n1 teaspoon ground cinnamon<br \/>\n\u00bc cup chopped pecans<br \/>\n\u00bc cup maple syrup<br \/>\n\u00bd teaspoon pure vanilla extract<br \/>\n\u00bd teaspoon kosher salt<br \/>\nDIRECTIONS<\/p>\n<p>Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (218 degrees Celsius).<\/p><!--CusAds0-->\n<p>Place a sweet potato between two chopsticks for stability and knife guidance. Every \u00bc-inch along the length of the sweet potato, slice \u215e of the way through, or until the knife hits the chopsticks. (The chopsticks will help prevent the knife from cutting all the way through the sweet potato.) Repeat with the second potato.<br \/>\nBrush the sweet potatoes with the vegetable oil. Place in a small baking dish and season with salt and pepper to taste.<br \/>\nBake the sweet potatoes for 30 to 40 minutes, or until soft.<\/p>\n<p>Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven, and increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees Fahrenheit (230 degrees Celsius).<br \/>\nIn a small bowl, combine the melted butter, ground cinnamon, chopped pecans, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and kosher salt. Stir to mix.<br \/>\nSpoon the maple syrup mixture over and in between the baked sweet potato slices, pushing the pecan pieces in between each slice.<br \/>\nReturn the filled sweet potatoes to the oven and bake an additional 8 to 10 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Remove the baked sweet potatoes from the oven and spoon any cooking liquid over the potatoes. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.<br \/>\nHow perfect for autumn are these sweet potatoes? Not only are the root veggies just about to come into season, they pair so well with every dish we start craving around this time of year\u2014 and in turn, this maple pecan butter pairs so perfectly with them. Brilliant and delicious!<\/p>\n<p>So what do YOU think? Have you jumped on the hasselback bandwagon yet, or ever made anything similar to this dish?
