Ingredients
-
2 sticks unsalted butter, divided
-
4 large sweet potatoes, sliced into ¼-inch coins
-
4 tablespoons packed light brown sugar, divided
-
Kosher salt, to taste
-
1 cup all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
-
½ cup chopped toasted pecans
-
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
Directions
Step 1: Prep the pan & potatoes
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly butter a 9×13-inch baking dish. Arrange half the sweet potatoes in one overlapping layer.
Step 2: Season the layers
Drizzle with ¼ cup melted butter and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons brown sugar and a pinch of salt.
Repeat with the remaining potatoes, butter, sugar, and salt.
Step 3: Mix the topping
In a bowl, combine flour, pecans, rosemary, ½ teaspoon salt, the remaining ½ cup butter (melted), and remaining sugar.
Stir with a fork until clumps form. Sprinkle evenly over the potatoes.
Step 4: Bake to perfection
Bake for 55–65 minutes, until the potatoes are soft when pierced with a knife. Cover loosely with foil for the last 10 minutes to prevent over-browning.
Serve warm and enjoy the taste of fall!
