You can create up to five timers

You can roast the potatoes and bananas ahead of time, then put it all together just before serving. Then heat it up in the oven.

Ingredients

  • 5 medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed
  • 4 bananas, unpeeled
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • Kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups pecans, chopped

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Prick the sweet potatoes all over with a fork, put them in a roasting pan and roast for 30 minutes. Toss the bananas into the pan and continue roasting for 10 to 15 minutes, until both the bananas and potatoes are very soft. Remove the pan from the oven but don't turn the oven off.

When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, scoop out the flesh into a large mixing bowl. Peel the bananas and add them to the bowl along with 1 stick of the butter, and the honey. Season with salt and beat vigorously with a wooden spoon until everything's well combined and the mixture is fluffy. Spoon into an oven-proof serving bowl and smooth the top.

In a separate mixing bowl, use your fingers to rub together the remaining stick of butter, the brown sugar, flour, and pecans until the mixture is the consistency of coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the crumb mixture over the sweet potatoes and return to the oven. Cook for about 20 minutes, until the crumbs are golden. Serve hot.

    It tasted great; however, it would be nice to know what size of dish he recommends using. I used a serving bowl and found that the potato layer and the topping were too thick. Maybe a 9x9 pan would work, but it should be a wide shallow dish rather than a serving bowl IMHO. Also, I didn't use the bananas as I didn't have any. Still tasted fine to me.

    Sweet, great topping, very banana-y. I followed the recipe to a T, with one exception. I roasted 2 bananas instead of 4. I was surprised how strongly the banana taste came through. It is a good recipe with an interesting taste but beware - the banana is not subtle. My family loved it, especially the guys! I would definitely give it a try if you're looking for something new.
