Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss 3 large peeled and cubed sweet potatoes with 1/4 cup maple syrup, 3 tbsp melted unsalted butter, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp nutmeg in a large bowl.
Step 2: Spread the sweet potatoes evenly in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Roast for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized.
Step 3: While sweet potatoes roast, combine 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup chopped pecans, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tbsp all-purpose flour, 3 tbsp melted butter (reserved from sweet potatoes), and 1/4 tsp salt in a small bowl to make the streusel topping.
Step 4: Remove sweet potatoes from oven and sprinkle the pecan oat mixture evenly on top. Return to oven and bake an additional 15 minutes until the topping is golden and crunchy.
Step 5: Let cool 5 minutes before serving.
