Ingredients
- 6 pounds (about 6) sweet potatoes
- 2 ripe bananas, skins on
- 2 ounces (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 pound pecans
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
Directions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork and bake until tender, about 1 hour. Roast the bananas, with the skins on, for the last 15 minutes of cooking time. When cool enough to handle, peel the potatoes and bananas, and transfer to a food processor. Pulse until the potatoes are chunky.
Add the butter and maple syrup, puree until smooth. Add the cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice and salt; puree to combine. Transfer to a shallow baking pan and smooth out the surface with a spatula.
In a skillet, cook the pecans in butter over low heat and sprinkle with salt. Saute until well-coated, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes. Transfer the pecans to paper towels to drain. Arrange pecans on top of puree and sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake at 300 degrees F until heated through, about 20 minutes.
