To begin I poked each sweet potato several times with a fork and then put them in the microwave.  I used 4 large sweet potatoes.

To calculate cooking time allow five minutes for the first one and add two minutes for each additional sweet potato.

Before removing the sweet potatoes from the microwave I poked them with a fork to make sure they were cooked through.  Then I cut them in half.

I used a spoon to scoop the flesh from the sweet potatoes into a mixing bowl.

Next I added some brown sugar, vanilla extract, salt and eggs to the sweet potatoes in the mixing bowl.

Using a large wooden spoon I stirred all the ingredients together.  I prefer my sweet potatoes to be a little chunkier.  If you prefer them smooth and creamy you could use a wire whisk.

I scraped all the sweet potato mixture into a greased casserole dish.

I set the casserole dish aside and prepared the topping by dumping some Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free All Purpose Flour, brown sugar, margarine and salt into a small mixing bowl.

Using a fork, I stirred the topping ingredients together well.

Then I stirred in some pecan pieces.

Once the pecans were stirred in I sprinkled the topping mixture on top of the sweet potatoes in the casserole dish.

I put the casserole into a preheated 350F oven for 40 minutes.  The crust will be golden brown all over when cooked.

I let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Sweet Potato Crumble is a delicious side dish that is loaded with flavour.  The crispy brown sugar topping loaded with pecans provides a sweetness that will have everyone choosing to eat their vegetables. 

Even more sweetness can be added by drizzling pure maple syrup over each serving.  Be ready for requests for seconds!
