Infused Maple Pecan Sweet Potatoes Recipe
Servings: 8
Dosing Note: Adjust the cannabis butter to your preferred potency level. Start low if you’re sharing this dish with multiple guests.
Ingredients
- 4 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 3 tablespoons melted cannabis-infused butter (homemade or store-bought, dosed to your preference)
- 2 tablespoons regular unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Marshmallows for topping if you want a classic, gooey finish
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with both the melted cannabis-infused butter and regular butter. Add the maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper, stirring until the potatoes are fully coated with all the delicious flavors.
3. Spread the sweet potatoes in the baking dish and cover with foil. Bake for about 30 minutes, then remove the foil, stir, and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender and starting to caramelize around the edges.
4. Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the sweet potatoes and, if you’re feeling classic, add a few marshmallows on top. Bake for another 5-10 minutes, just until the pecans are toasted, and the marshmallows (if using) are golden and gooey.
5. Let the dish cool for a few minutes before serving. Remember, these are infused, so start with a small portion if you’re new to edibles or sharing with guests.
When making infused dishes for a gathering, it’s best to keep the dosage moderate so everyone can enjoy it comfortably. For a mellow effect, aim for around 5 mg of THC per serving. If you’re new to cooking with cannabis, you can adjust the potency by using a mix of regular and infused butter to control the overall strength of the dish.
We hope this infused recipe adds a little extra flavor and fun to your Thanksgiving! Enjoy, stay lifted, and let us know if you try it out this holiday. Happy Thanksgiving, Blunt Talk Fam!
