Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large sweet potatoes
- 4 medium carrots
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup rolled oats
- 0.5 cup pecans
- 0.25 cup maple syrup
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel the sweet potatoes and carrots, then cut them into evenly sized chunks (about 1 inch in size).
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the sweet potatoes and carrots, and cook for 10-15 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork.
Drain the potatoes and carrots, then return them to the pot. Add 3 tablespoons of butter, the maple syrup, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mash until smooth and well combined.
Transfer the sweet potato and carrot mixture into a greased 9x9-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a medium bowl, prepare the crumble topping by mixing the flour, rolled oats, chopped pecans, and remaining 1/4 cup of brown sugar. Cut in the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the sweet potato and carrot layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crisp.
Allow the crumble to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
