Sweet Potato Crescent Bake Recipe

October 23, 2014 by Lisa Pinney

 

IMG_8182

Sweet potatoes are one of my very favorite veggies!

This recipe turns them into a very decadent breakfast item or dessert–you can’t go wrong!

My work buddies said it tasted just like Thanksgiving ๐Ÿ™‚

Putting it all together:

 Take the 1 package of crescent rolls and mush them together in the bottom of your 9 x 13 pan..

you will not have to spray it with nonstick spray because the crescent rolls will be greasy enough…for lack of a better explanation!

Mix the potatoes, butter, vanilla, egg and flavoring and spread over the crescent layer…

You will want to eat this mixture right out of the bowl…I promise…

Now pour on the marshmallows and cut up cream cheese….

Then sprinkle on the pecans…

though next time, I think I will save the pecans to sprinkle on the top instead…

On your cutting board, mush together the next roll of crescents to form a top crust…

it will not look perfect or even pretty…but that’s ok!

Bake on 350 degrees for 30 minutes…

It will be beautiful and brown like this!

Make the glaze…

Brush it all over…

  • 4 TBSP butter
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 TBSP heavy whipping cream

Instructions

Bake sweet potatoes until tender, let cool and peel.

Place cooked potatoes in a large mixing bowl and add butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, nutmeg, cinnamon, cream and egg; mix until well combined.

Place one can of the crescent rolls in a 9 x 13 baking dish but do not spray it with nonstick spray. Pinch edges together to make a bottom crust.
