Steps
- Heat the oven to 400°F. Prick the sweet potatoes and roast directly on the rack 45 minutes, until completely soft. Reduce the oven to 350°F.
- Scoop the flesh into a bowl (you want about 6 cups) and mash with the butter, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, and salt. Spread in a buttered 9x13-inch dish.
- Stir the pecans, brown sugar, flour, and melted butter into a crumble; scatter over the top.
- Bake 25 minutes, until the topping is crisp and the edges bubble.
Tip: Roast the sweet potatoes a day ahead. Cold roasted sweet potatoes scoop out clean and mash smoother.
