  • 1 teaspoon Salt Using kosher or sea salt gives the best results.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Pepper Black or white pepper works well.
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika For a deeper flavor, try smoked paprika.
For the Glaze

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 380°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes under cold water. Slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds, keeping the skin on.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine melted unsalted butter with ground cinnamon, salt, paprika, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth and toss the sweet potato slices in this mixture.
  4. Arrange the coated sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking tray. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
  5. Prepare the maple-pecan topping by combining maple syrup, chopped pecans, remaining cinnamon, and thyme in a separate bowl.
  6. Add approximately one teaspoon of the maple-pecan mixture to the top of each sweet potato slice. Return to the oven for an additional 8-10 minutes.
  7. Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and optionally garnish with crumbled feta cheese before serving.
