Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Poke each sweet potato several times with a fork and bake on a foil-lined cookie sheet for 1 hour, or until tender.

- Pour the mixture into a lightly greased 9×13-inch casserole dish.
- In a food processor or blender, combine the topping ingredients (reserving 2 tablespoons of the pecans) and pulse a few times until crumbly. Sprinkle evenly over the casserole.
- Roughly chop the remaining pecans and sprinkle them on top.
