Chef's Tips
- Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare the sweet potato mixture and topping a day ahead. Store separately in the fridge and assemble before baking.
- Texture Tip: For extra creamy sweet potatoes, use a hand mixer to blend them until smooth.
- Nut-Free Option: Replace pecans with rolled oats for a nut-free version.
- Spice It Up: Add 1/2 tsp cinnamon or nutmeg to the sweet potato mixture for extra warmth.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a dessert-like treat.
