1 Video | Photo: Sweet Potato Puree with Bananas and Buttered Pecans Recipe
Ingredients
- 6 pounds (about 6) sweet potatoes
- 2 ripe bananas, skins on
- 2 ounces (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 pound pecans
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
Directions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork and bake until tender, about 1 hour. Roast the bananas, with the skins on, for the last 15 minutes of cooking time. When cool enough to handle, peel the potatoes and bananas, and transfer to a food processor. Pulse until the potatoes are chunky.
Add the butter and maple syrup, puree until smooth. Add the cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice and salt; puree to combine. Transfer to a shallow baking pan and smooth out the surface with a spatula.
In a skillet, cook the pecans in butter over low heat and sprinkle with salt. Saute until well-coated, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes. Transfer the pecans to paper towels to drain. Arrange pecans on top of puree and sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake at 300 degrees F until heated through, about 20 minutes.

Disclaimer: I have not made this dish! I wanted to, as the ingredients sound divine, but I cannot ignore the atrocious amount of calories in this thing!!! The recipe says this serves 6-8; at a serving of 8, that is nearly 1,000 calories per serving, 58g of fat (14.5g saturated, 1263mg sodium, 118g carbs, and 28g sugar. I realize this is a "holiday" recipe, and we're supposed to indulge a little, but in all seriousness, I'd rather not.

I loved the idea of this dish when I saw it, especially the roasted bananas! The flavors were delicious together but I would probably cut back a little bit on the amount of cinammon I used next time, as I thought it was slightly overpowering. I will definitely make this again. I loved the flavors together.
