4 large sweet potatoes peeled, spiraled (I used the large blade. You don't want super thin spirals)
1 large sweet onion sliced thin and separated into rings
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
⅓ cup unsalted butter softened
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ cup pecans chopped, toasted

Preheat grill to medium or oven to 425 F degrees.
Place potato slices and onion rings on a large sheet of aluminum foil (you might need to divide the mixture between more than one piece of foil). Drizzle with oil.
Place another sheet of foil over potatoes and seal along edges.
Place on grill or in oven for 20-25 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender.
In a small bowl, mix the butter, sugar, salt and cinnamon. Stir in pecans.
Open packets and top with pecan butter. Serve.
