Maple Pecan Melting Sweet Potatoes

The sweet potatoes are sliced into one inch discs and roasted in butter until the tops and
bottoms are nice, golden brown and crispy and the inside roasts up nice and melt in your mouth tender and moist! The roasted sweet potatoes would be great just like that but they get even better when you top them in a pecan maple syrup! It's almost like having dessert as a side dish!
