Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees F and arrange rack in the middle.
• While oven heats, place pecans on a baking sheet to toast until they smell nutty and are slightly darker, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
• Place sweet potatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle with oil. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and toss to coat. Roast until golden brown and tender when pierced with a knife, about 40 to 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. When it foams, stir in maple syrup and cayenne and let cook briefly, about 1 minute. Serve sweet potatoes with a drizzle of maple butter and a scattering of pecans.

• Bake sweet potatoes: Bake for 20 minutes, until the bottoms are starting to brown.

ROASTED SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE WITH PECAN CRUMBLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Combine sweet potatoes and oil in a bowl and toss to coat. Lay on a shallow baking sheet.
• Roast until slightly charred, about 45 minutes, turning regularly to prevent burning on the bottom.
• While potatoes are roasting, combine 1/3 cup brown sugar and flour in a medium-sized bowl. Add 3 tablespoons butter and cut into the dry ingredients. Stir in pecans until evenly mixed. Set crumble mixture aside.
• Combine 1/3 cup brown sugar, remaining 7 tablespoons butter, eggs, evaporated milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt, cloves, and nutmeg in a large mixing bowl. Set aside until potatoes are done roasting.
• Remove potatoes from oven and reduce heat to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Transfer sweet potatoes to the brown sugar mixture in the large mixing bowl. Toss until well combined.
• Spoon sweet potato mixture into a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish. Top with crumble mixture, distributing evenly to form a crust.
• Bake in the hot oven until lightly browned on top, 30 to 40 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
