Step 1

Preheat over to 425 degrees

Step 2

Slice the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise and place on a foil or parchment paper lined baking sheet.

Step 3

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of oil over the cut open side of the sweet potatoes and lay them cut side down on the baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes or until fork tender.

Step 4

When the sweet potatoes are cooking, prepare the topping. In a medium sized bowl, combine, chopped pecans, pecan halves, almond flour, coconut sugar, maple syrup, ghee, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

Step 5

Once sweet potatoes are cooked, let them cool slightly for about 5-10 minutes so you can handle them. Scoop out most of the insides but leave about 1/8 inch of sweet potato in the skin.

Step 6

Place all of the scooped out sweet potato in a large bowl and mash them with a potato masher or fork. Add almond milk, ghee, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt and stir to combine fully. Scoop the mixture back into the sweet potato skins evenly.

Step 7

Top each sweet potato half with some of the maple pecan topping and return to the oven for 8 minutes. Remove and enjoy.
