3-Ingredient Sweet Potato Casserole with Maple Pecans

Ingredients for 3-Ingredient Sweet Potato Casserole with Maple Pecans

• Olive oil (for pan)

• 2.5kg sweet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1 1/2" pieces

• 2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided, plus more

• 300ml pure maple syrup, divided

• 475ml pecan halves (about 200g )

• 1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, divided

Preheat oven to 177°C. Oil a 3-qt. baking dish. Cook potatoes in a large pot of boiling salted water until very tender, about 12 minutes. Drain; let sit in colander 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat 120ml syrup in a large skillet over medium-high. Add pecans, 3/4 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring constantly, until syrup has evaporated and pecans are glazed, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet and let cool.

Purée potatoes, 350ml water, and remaining 180ml syrup, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoons pepper in a food processor until smooth. Transfer potato mixture to prepared baking dish.

Coarsely chop pecans and sprinkle evenly over potato mixture.

Bake casserole until top is lightly browned, about 40 minutes. Let sit 15 minutes before serving.

Casserole can be assembled, without topping, 2 days ahead; cover and chill. Candied pecans can be made 2 days ahead; store in an airtight container at room temperature.
