Ingredients
- 4 medium (about 1.5 lbs) sweet potatoes
- 2 large ripe mangoes
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 0.25 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
Step 2
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into thin rounds, about 1/4-inch thick. Arrange them in a single overlapping layer in the prepared baking dish.
Step 3
Peel the mangoes and slice the flesh away from the pits. Cut the mango into thin slices and layer them evenly over the sweet potato slices.
Step 4
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until fully combined.
Step 5
Remove the butter mixture from heat and stir in the lime juice. Drizzle this mixture evenly over the sweet potatoes and mangoes.
Step 6
Optional: Sprinkle chopped pecans over the top for added crunch and nutty flavor.
Step 7
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Step 8
Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and the top is golden and caramelized.
Step 9
Let the dish cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. This dish is excellent as a side or even a light dessert!
