Guest guest Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 I got it out of Merilu Henners Healthy Holidays... 8 med sweet potatos (3 lbs) 1/4 c. margarine (I use earth balance) 1/3 c. maple sugar 3/4 tsp. salt 1/3 c. chopped pecans HEat the oven to 350F. Scrub the sweet potatos thoroughly with a vegetable brush; do not peel. Pierce the potatoes with a fork to allow steam to escape while they bake. Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack (I find they " leak " so I foil wrap them) Bake for 1 hour, or until tender when pierced with a fork. When the potatoes are cool enough to handle gently peel off the skins usuing a paring knife. Cut the potatoes into 1/2 inch slices. In a large sauce pan over meduim heat, heat the margarine, maple sugar, 1/4 c. water (I use about 6 squirts of maple syrup in this too!) and salt about 2 minutes stiring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and bubbly. Add the potatos and pecans and stir gently until coated. Place in a serving dish and go! I have also just baked it all together instead of doing it separate and it works too. This way I leave the skins on... Super yummy! And way better for you than the candied kind. It's a great book with lots of good ideas. Most are vegetartian (only uses some fish and poultry) and a lot are vegan or adapted to vegan easy. ~Mel --- ~ PT ~ <patchouli_troll wrote: > Those maple pecan sweet taters sound wonderful! > Could you share the recipe or general instructions? > i don't like the kind my friend makes with marsh- > mallows all over them.
