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.

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.

CANDIED SWEET POTATOES WITH PECANS
This is my favorite style of a Thanksgiving or Christmas time sweet potato side dish, since I'm not really a big fan of whipped sweet potatoes with marshmallow toppings. This is a very sweet dish (candied) but more to my liking. The spice and pecans add a whole new level of taste and texture.

SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE WITH PECAN TOPPING
Thanksgiving wouldn't be the same for Scott Jones without this sensational side dish. "The caramelized pecan topping is a great change from marshmallows, but I don't think it's any lighter," he writes from Tulsa, Oklahoma. "Can you trim it down?"

Steps:
- To make the sweet potato puree, cover sweet potatoes with water in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil; cook until tender when pierced with the tip of a paring knife, about 15 minutes. Drain; puree in a food processor until completely smooth. Let cool completely before using (refrigerate or freeze for quicker cooling).
- To make filling, preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, 1/3 cup brown sugar, and maple syrup until smooth. Add sweet-potato puree, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and 3/4 cup cream; whisk until completely smooth. Place cooled crust on a rimmed baking sheet; pour filling into crust. (If using a store-bought crust, defrost 10 minutes; prick bottom all over with a fork.)
- Bake pie on lowest rack of oven until filling is set, about 50 minutes. If crust browns too quickly, tent edges with foil. Transfer pie to a rack to cool, 1 hour; transfer to refrigerator to cool completely.
- To make the pecan topping, melt butter over medium heat in a medium saucepan. Add remaining 1/2 cup light-brown sugar and pecans. Cook, stirring, until sugar is incorporated and the mixture is smooth, about 3 minutes. Stir in remaining tablespoon cream; let cool 1 to 2 minutes. Pour mixture over cooled pie. With a butter knife or spatula, spread mixture over pie. Cool until topping has hardened, about 30 minutes. (Do not refrigerate again; keep pie in a cool place up to 6 hours.)
Tips:
- Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm and smooth sweet potatoes without bruises or blemishes.
- Prick the sweet potatoes: Before baking, prick the sweet potatoes with a fork to help them cook evenly.
- Bake the sweet potatoes until tender: Bake the sweet potatoes at 400°F for 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Make the pecan crumb topping: While the sweet potatoes are baking, make the pecan crumb topping by combining pecans, flour, brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon in a bowl.
- Top the sweet potatoes with the pecan crumb topping: Once the sweet potatoes are done baking, top them with the pecan crumb topping and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown.
- Serve the sweet potatoes warm: Serve the sweet potatoes warm with butter, syrup, or marshmallows.
Conclusion:
Sweet potatoes with pecan crumb topping is a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet potatoes are tender and flavorful, while the pecan crumb topping adds a crunchy and nutty flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
