Whipped Sweet Potatoes and Bananas with Honey

Cook Time: 1 hr 5 min
Level: Easy
Yield: 10 to 12 servings

Ingredients

* 5 medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed
* 4 bananas, unpeeled
* 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
* 1/4 cup honey
* Kosher salt
* 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
* 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
* 1 1/2 cups pecans, chopped

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Prick the sweet potatoes all over with a fork, put them in a roasting
pan and roast for 30 minutes. Toss the bananas into the pan and
continue roasting for 10 to 15 minutes, until both the bananas and
potatoes are very soft. Remove the pan from the oven but don't turn
the oven off.

When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, scoop out the flesh into
a large mixing bowl. Peel the bananas and add them to the bowl along
with 1 stick of the butter, and the honey. Season with salt and beat
vigorously with a wooden spoon until everything's well combined and
the mixture is fluffy. Spoon into an oven-proof serving bowl and
smooth the top.

In a separate mixing bowl, use your fingers to rub together the
remaining stick of butter, the brown sugar, flour, and pecans until
the mixture is the consistency of coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the crumb
mixture over the sweet potatoes and return to the oven. Cook for about
20 minutes, until the crumbs are golden. Serve hot.
