Ingredients

 

3 1⁄2 lb (about 5 medium) sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1 inch chunks
1⁄3 cup honey
1 large egg
1 tsp ground cinnamon, divided
1⁄4 tsp ground nutmeg
1⁄8 tsp ground ginger
1⁄2 tsp sea salt, or kosher salt
1 tbsp dark brown sugar, or coconut sugar, packed
1⁄3 cup pecans, finely chopped

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray 2 quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Bring a few inches of water to a boil in a pot with a large steamer basket in place. Put sweet potatoes in the basket, cover, and steam until tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer potatoes to a bowl and cool slightly. Add honey, egg, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt, then whip with an electric mixer until smooth. Spread sweet potato mixture in the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, pecans, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Sprinkle topping over the potatoes.
  4. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are hot and the topping starts to brown around the edges.
