Ingredients needed to make Cranberry Pecan Sweet Potato Bake:
- Sweet Potatoes
- Butter
- Brown Sugar
- Honey

How to make Cranberry Pecan Sweet Potato Bake:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a 9 x 13 inch pan, with nonstick cooking spray.
- Peel all the potatoes, with a potato peeler, then slice them into thin rounds. These should be less than 1/4 inch wide.
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, honey, and olive oil. Mix until fully incorporated.
- Lay out your potato slices on the bottom of the pan. Make sure you only do one layer of the sweet potatoes.
- For the second layer of the sweet potatoes, add your Craisins and your chopped pecans. I used about 1/2 cup of Craisins and 1/3 cup of pecans for the first layer.
