Directions:
Heat oven to 450 degrees and arrange rack in the middle.

While oven heats, place pecans on a baking sheet to toast until they smell nutty and slightly darker, about 5 minutes.
They can burn quickly so watch carefully. Remove from oven and set aside.

Place sweet potatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle with oil. Season well with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Roast until golden brown and tender when pierced with a knife, about 40 to 45 minutes.

Meanwhile, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. When it foams, stir in maple syrup and cayenne and let cook briefly, about 1 minute. Serve sweet potatoes with a drizzle of maple butter and a scattering of pecans.
