Ingredients

  • 3-4 sweet potatoes
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 3/4 cup orange juice
  • 1/2 tsp orange zest
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Topping

  • 1/2 cup pecans
  • 1/3 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted
  • 3-5 Fresh Sage leaves

Instructions

  • Peel and thinly slice sweet potatoes with a sharp knife or a mandoline. Arrange slices in an oven safe non stick pan. Set aside.
    In a saucepan, add butter and brown sugar over medium heat. Cool until the butter melts. Add honey, spices, salt, orange zest and orange juice. Cook for 4-5 minutes, until the sugar fully dissolves and the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and add the vanilla. Pour mixture all over the arranged sweet potato slices.
    In a small bowl, add brown sugar for the topping, flour and butter. Squeeze mixture together until it becomes crumbly. Scatter the crumb topping over the sweet potatoes. Sprinkle pecans on top. Then top with sliced sage leaves. Place casserole in a 375 degree oven. Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until sweet potatoes are tender.
