- Preheat oven to 375°; spray 8½ x 11-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Pierce sweet potatoes all over with fork and place in large microwave-safe bowl; cover with plastic wrap, leaving 1 edge slightly open to vent, and heat in microwave oven 15 minutes or until very tender, turning potatoes every 5 minutes. Cool potatoes 5 minutes; scoop potato flesh into large bowl and discard skins. Stir in ¼ cup sugar, 2 tablespoons softened butter, vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon salt; spread in prepared dish. Makes about 4¼ cups.
- In food processor, pulse flour, cinnamon, and remaining ¼ cup sugar and ¼ teaspoon salt; add remaining 6 tablespoons cubed butter and pulse until pea-sized crumbs form. Add pecans; pulse several times or until combined. Sprinkle pecan mixture over sweet potato mixture; bake 25 minutes or until top is golden brown. Makes about 5½ cups.
