Sweet Potato Recipe With Brown Sugar

Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Brown Sugar are a favorite side dish during the holidays! With few ingredients, they're flavorful, perfectly sweet and the optional pecans make for a fun added crunch!

Wanna know what I love even more than the turkey and pumpkin pie during the holidays?? The sides. Allllll the sides....from mashed 'taters to stuffing, dinner rolls and everything in between! And as much as I love a classic sweet potato casserole, I thought these roasted sweet potatoes with brown sugar were much simpler & the perfect side dish for a quick weeknight meal!

My Brown Sugar Glazed Carrots have been super popular here on the blog, so I wanted to use the same flavor profile with sweet potatoes. And though the pecans are totally optional, I love the added crunch nuttiness they bring to the dish!

Brown Sugar Candied Sweet Potatoes Recipe

You canrealize the true fact that something this good doesn’t need to just be reserved for Thanksgiving and you can go right on ahead with your best kitchen self and make this happen even BEFORE the clock strikes dinnertime on Thanksgiving Day.

You guys, the strange thing about this sweet potato casserole is that it is very much a dessert, but never once in my Thanksgiving career have I experienced this being served as anything other than a completely luscious side dish to accompany the mashed potatoes and gravy, turkey, green bean casserole, and soft white dinner rolls. The flavor just works. It’s that one little pre-dessert side that you might even like more than your real dessert.

This is a recipe that my mom has been making for years, and she got it from one of her friends who has been making it for years before that, and there is a reason is has become a mainstay at Thanksgiving.

Sweet Potato Casserole With Easy Candied Pecans Recipe

I like to Easy Button my life whenever possible, so I just toss all the topping ingredients in my food processor and give it a go-round till it makes that crumbly, streusel-like topping that we know and love.

Now, we know some love the sweet fluffy topping of marshmallows, but the texture of this sweet, nutty, crumbly topping just CANNOT BE BEAT. The crunchy topping perfect balances the fluffiness of the mashed sweet potatoes, and just… wow. Trust us, we’ll make a convert of you.

Thesoft and sweet bottom layer + the crunchy and nutty top layer work their magic together to make the bestsweet potato casserole that you could ever want for your Thanksgiving side-dish domination.

Buttery Brown Sugar Sweet Potato Casserole

Yes! We actually enjoy the texture of the canned sweet potatoes here, but fresh would work as well. Would recommend that you bake them instead of boil if you go the fresh route as to not add more moisture.

The eggs in the sweet potato casserole are what binds it all together without making the base too heavy. Without them, the casserole wouldn’t be quite as fluffy and scoopable!

Yep, that should work just fine! Prep it all as listed, and you can refrigerate for 1-2 days before baking. If you want to make it even better, you could also wait to sprinkle on the topping until it’s time to bake.

To make this vegan, you can sub the butter for vegan butter, the milk for your favorite plant-based unsweetened/unflavored milk, and omit the eggs.

Like most foods being served, this should not sit out for more than 2 hours according to the USDA. After that it should either head to the fridge or be tossed!

Store in the fridge in a covered container (either the dish it was baked in or a new container). It will keep in the fridge for 3-4 days, but best sooner than later! To reheat, you can cover it and pop it in the oven again, uncovering it for the last few minutes to crisp it up, or you can hit the easy button and just reheat in the microwave. It won’t be quite as crispy but still delicious!
