How to Make Amazing Whipped Sweet Potatoes
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Pierce 2 large sweet potatoes (about 1.5 lbs total) several times with a fork.
- Roast sweet potatoes in the oven for 1 hour.
- After 40 minutes, add 2 ripe bananas, poked with a fork, to the oven to roast alongside the sweet potatoes.
- Remove sweet potatoes and bananas from oven and let cool until easily handled (about 15 minutes).
- Scoop the banana flesh into a large bowl.
- Peel and add the cooked sweet potatoes to the bowl.
- Add 1/4 cup (57g) unsalted butter, 2 tablespoons honey, 1/4 cup half-and-half, and a pinch of salt.
- Mix until completely smooth using a hand mixer or potato masher.
- Transfer the mixture to a greased 8x8 inch baking dish and spread evenly.
- In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup (50g) packed brown sugar, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup chopped pecans, and 2 tablespoons (28g) cold unsalted butter. Use your fingers to crumble the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crispy.
- Let cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
