What You’ll Need for the Sweet Potatoes:

• 4 medium Sweet Potatoes, Washed & Dried
• 2 tbsp Butter
• 3 tbsp Maple Syrup
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Cinnamon

And the Streusel Topping:

• 3/4 cup Pecans, Chopped
• 1 tsp Cinnamon
• 1/4 cup Flour
• 2 tbsp Butter
• 2 tbsp Maple Syrup

How to Make Pecan Pie Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Bake 4 cleaned and dry sweet potatoes for 40-55 minutes. The center should be soft. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
• Remove from the oven.
• Reduce heat to 350 degrees. Let the sweet potatoes cool down until you can handle them without burning your hands.
• Slice each one lengthwise through the top. Scoop out the sweet potato and transfer to a medium size bowl, making sure to leave about 1/4 inch of sweet potato in the skin to keep the potato skin stable.
• Mash the sweet potatoes in the bowl. Add in 2 tbsp butter, 3 tbsp maple syrup, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1 tsp cinnamon and mix until combined.
• Stuff the sweet potato skins with the mashed sweet potato mixture.
• Make the streusel topping by mixing together 3/4 cup chopped pecans, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 cup flour, 2 tbsp butter, and 2 tbsp maple syrup in a small bowl until well combined.
• Top the potatoes evenly with the streusel mixture.
• Return to the oven for 20-30 minutes.
