Tips:

  • Choose firm and dry sweet potatoes for the best texture.
  • Use a fork to poke holes in the sweet potatoes before baking. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Coat the sweet potatoes in a mixture of melted butter, olive oil, and spices before baking. This will give them a crispy exterior and a flavorful interior.
  • Bake the sweet potatoes at a high temperature (400°F) for about an hour, or until they are tender.
  • Let the sweet potatoes cool slightly before adding the pecan topping. This will prevent the topping from melting.
