Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Sweet Potatoes

Time 1h55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
⅓ cup packed dark brown sugar
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, divided
½ cup chopped pecans
⅓ cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs, beaten
½ cup evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Combine sweet potatoes and oil in a bowl and toss to coat. Lay on a shallow baking sheet.
  • Roast until slightly charred, about 45 minutes, turning regularly to prevent burning on the bottom.
  • While potatoes are roasting, combine 1/3 cup brown sugar and flour in a medium-sized bowl. Add 3 tablespoons butter and cut into the dry ingredients. Stir in pecans until evenly mixed. Set crumble mixture aside.
  • Combine 1/3 cup brown sugar, remaining 7 tablespoons butter, eggs, evaporated milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt, cloves, and nutmeg in a large mixing bowl. Set aside until potatoes are done roasting.
  • Remove potatoes from oven and reduce heat to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Transfer sweet potatoes to the brown sugar mixture in the large mixing bowl. Toss until well combined.
  • Spoon sweet potato mixture into a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish. Top with crumble mixture, distributing evenly to form a crust.
  • Bake in the hot oven until lightly browned on top, 30 to 40 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Categories     Sides, Salads & Vegetables

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 pounds raw sweet potatoes, diced into large chunks and boiled
2 large eggs
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup milk (I used unsweetened cashewmilk)
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, optional
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, optional
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 cup Fisher Pecan Halves

Steps:

  • To a large stockpot, add the sweet potato chunks, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook over high heat until sweet potatoes are fork tender. Drain well and transfer to a large bowl.
  • Preheat oven to 350F and spray a 2.5 to 3-quart baking dish or a 9×13-inch baking pan with cooking spray; set aside.
  • To the large bowl with the sweet potatoes, add the eggs, butter, milk, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla, salt, optional nutmeg, optional cinnamon, and beat with a handheld electric mixer on medium-high speed until combined and fluffy.
  • Turn out into baking dish, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula; set aside.
  • To a large microwave-safe bowl, add the butter and heat on high power to melt, about 1 minute.
  • Add the brown sugar, flour, salt, and toss with a fork or your fingers until moist crumbs form.
  • Add the pecans and toss to incorporate.
  • Evenly turn topping out over filling.
  • Bake the sweet potato casserole for about 45 minutes (or cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours if you're prepping it in advance), or until top is lightly golden browned, set on the edges, and mostly set in the center. Mine took 50 minutes because I started with it cold from the fridge because I prepped it the night before. Baking time will vary based on pan used (glass or ceramic baking dishes will bake for longer than metal pans), oven, climate, ingredient variances, etc. Start checking at 30 minutes.
  • Serve immediately. Extra will keep airtight for up to 1 week in the fridge.
