Roasting Sweet Potatoes

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

Scrub the sweet potatoes and prick then several times with a fork. Place them on a foil-lined baking sheet and roast for 40 minutes or until fork tender. *See notes

Remove from the oven and let cool 5 minutes.

Reduce the oven to 350 degrees.

Scrap the sweet potatoes out of the skin (4 cups) and place them into a large mixing bowl. Add the milk, eggs, sugar, melted butter, salt, vanilla, and pumpkin spice. Using an electric mixer beat on medium speed for 3-4 minutes until smooth.

Spread the filling into a 9x9 baking dish.

Pecan Streusel Topping

In a small bowl add the brown sugar, flour, pecans, and butter and using a fork blend until crumbs form.

Spread evenly over the top of the sweet potato mixture.

Bake for 40 minutes, tent with aluminum foil if starting to get too brown on top.

Note

Sweet potatoes can be microwaved for 20-25 minutes until fork tender.

You can use frozen sweet potato cubes if needed, just cook and mash up as you would the fresh ones. Make sure you have the required 4 cups though.

The filling and streusel can be made a couple of days ahead of time just spread the crump topping on top right before baking.
