Roasted Sweet Potato Casserole with Pecan Crumble

1 . Stage

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

2 . Stage

Combine sweet potatoes and oil in a bowl and toss to coat. Lay on a shallow baking sheet.

3 . Stage

Roast until slightly charred, about 45 minutes, turning regularly to prevent burning on the bottom.

4 . Stage

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.

5 . Stage

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.

6 . Stage

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.

7 . Stage

Spoon sweet potato mixture into a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish. Top with crumble mixture, distributing evenly to form a crust.

8 . Stage

Bake in the hot oven until lightly browned on top, 30 to 40 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
