How to Make Sweet Potato Gravy
- Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook, stirring constantly, until a dark brown roux forms (about 3-5 minutes).
- Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5 minutes, or until softened and wilted.
- Stir in the minced garlic, toasted pecans, and 2 cups of water.
- Season generously with salt and cayenne pepper to taste.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
- Add the cooked, cubed sweet potatoes. Using an immersion blender or carefully transferring to a regular blender, blend until the sauce is completely smooth and creamy.
- Stir in the cane syrup and taste, adjusting seasonings as needed.
- Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately over your favorite dish (mashed potatoes, biscuits, etc.)
