How to Make Whipped Sweet Potatoes And Bananas With Honey

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel and chop 2 lbs sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes.
Place sweet potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until tender.
While sweet potatoes are cooking, mash 2 ripe bananas in a medium bowl.
Drain the cooked sweet potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash until mostly smooth, leaving some texture.
Stir in the mashed bananas and 2 tablespoons honey. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well until completely combined.
In a separate bowl, combine ½ cup pecans, ¼ cup brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons melted butter. Mix until evenly coated.
Transfer the sweet potato mixture to an oven-safe baking dish (approximately 8x8 inch).
Sprinkle the pecan topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through and the topping is golden brown and slightly crisp.
Let cool slightly before serving.
