Mellow Dusk (Hickory Honey BBQ) – to taste
Instructions:
-
Prep the oven & potatoes: Preheat oven to 400°F. Peel sweet potatoes and slice into thin medallions. Arrange them neatly in a shallow casserole or pie dish.
-
Make the magic glaze: In a small to medium saucepan over medium heat, melt together butter, brown sugar, water, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and salt until smooth and bubbling.
-
First coat of deliciousness: Brush ¾ of the glaze over the sweet potato medallions. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 45–50 minutes, until potatoes are tender.
-
Top it like a pro: Remove foil. Spoon the remaining ¼ of the glaze over the potatoes. Sprinkle with chopped pecans, mini marshmallows, and a light dusting of Mellow Dusk to add that smoky-sweet magic.
-
Broil for that golden finish: Switch oven to broil. Place the dish under the broiler for 1–2 minutes to toast the marshmallows. Watch carefully—this happens fast!
-
Rest & serve: Let the dish cool 10–15 minutes before serving. Grab a plate, scoop generously, and enjoy the sweet, buttery, smoky goodness.
Tips & Notes:
-
For an extra caramelized touch, drizzle a little more brown sugar glaze over the top before broiling.
-
Want nuts but no marshmallows? Swap them for more pecans and a drizzle of honey.
