Servings: persons

1 3/4 pounds Garnet or Jewel sweet potatoes (see notes)
1 3/4 pounds parsnips (see notes)
1/3 cup maple syrup
1/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup bourbon or orange juice
2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
1 teaspoon shredded orange peel
2 tablespoons orange juice
1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 cup coarsely chopped pecans
Salt

1
Peel sweet potatoes and parsnips; cut into sticks about 1/2 inch by 3 to 4 inches. Lightly coat a 12- by 17-inch rimmed baking pan with cooking oil spray. Place vegetables in pan, cover tightly with foil, and bake in a 400u00b0 regular or convection oven until just tender when pierced, 35 to 40 minutes.
2
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine maple syrup, brown sugar, bourbon, butter, orange peel and juice, and cardamom.
3
Increase oven temperature to 450u00b0. Remove foil from pan and sprinkle pecans over vegetables. Pour the syrup mixture over vegetables and pecans; turn pieces with a spatula to coat evenly.
4
Bake until syrup mixture thickens and sticks to vegetables, 25 to 35 minutes longer, turning pieces often to prevent scorching. Transfer candied vegetables to a serving dish. Season to taste with salt.

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
