Step by Step guide

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 374°F.

Step 2

Rinse the sweet potatoes under cold water. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake until tender, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let the potatoes cool slightly. Then make a lengthwise cut in the potatoes and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Be sure to leave enough flesh inside the potato so it retains its shape.

Step 3

In a food processor, combine the potato flesh, 2 tablespoons of sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cayenne pepper, and butter until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Grease the baking sheet with oil. Arrange the potatoes on the baking sheet and fill them with the prepared filling.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the remaining 3 tablespoons of sugar and the pecans. Sprinkle each stuffed potato with the nut and sugar mixture. Bake for 10 minutes.
