• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cups pecans (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Peel and boil the sweet potatoes until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Mash them until smooth and measure out 4 cups of mashed sweet potatoes.

Step 4

Pour the sweet potato mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, prepare the crumble topping by combining the brown sugar, flour, chopped pecans, and softened butter. Mix with a fork or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 6

Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the soufflé is set.
