Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 425 F.
-
Line a baking dish with oiled foil.
-
Scrub sweet potatoes; optionally peel. Stabilize round potatoes by slicing a small portion off the bottom.
-
Place each sweet potato between two wooden spoon handles or chopsticks; make 1/8 to 1/4-inch slices without cutting through the bottom.
-
Arrange potatoes in the pan, brush with half the melted butter, and season with salt and pepper.
-
Bake for 10 minutes, then continue baking for 50-60 minutes, brushing with more butter every 10 minutes, until tender.
-
While baking, toast walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until aromatic, stirring constantly, then remove.
-
Remove potatoes from oven, drizzle with maple syrup, and sprinkle with toasted nuts, ensuring some gets between slices.
-
Return to oven and bake for 5 more minutes.
