Preparation:

    Step 1
  • Preheat oven to 200°C.
  • Step 2
  • Prick the sweet potatoes all over with a fork and microwave until tender, 8-12 minutes, turning halfway through. Check for doneness after 8 minutes. They should feel tender to the touch. Slice into thick rounds and arrange attractively in a small or medium baking dish.
  • Step 3
  • Combine melted butter, honey, cinnamon, allspice, ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Pour the oil over the sweet potatoes and toss to coat. Bake in the oven until the honey butter is bubbling and the sweet potatoes are glazed, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and chopped pecans.
