Peel sweet potatoes and slice to about 1/8″ – 1/4″ thickness (about the same as a slice of pepperoni) like shown above. Layer sweet potatoes in an oven-safe casserole dish.
Pro tip: A mandoline makes thin slicing a breeze!
Pour 2 cans of coconut milk and chopped leeks into a medium saucepan and bring to boil. Once liquid is boiling, remove from heat and pour over sweet potatoes. You want enough liquid to just cover the top layer of potatoes.
Bake for 45 minutes – 1 hour at 350ยฐF.
While sweet potato casserole bakes, add chopped pecans to a saute pan over medium heat. Add 2 Tablespoons mirin, stirring regularly. Cook for 3-5 minutes until pecans start to brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
When scalloped sweet potatoes are done cooking, remove from oven and sprinkle with candied pecans. Best enjoyed warm.
