Baked Sweet Potatoes

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cover a rimmed cookie sheet with aluminum foil, and poke a few holes in sweet potatoes with a fork
2. Place on cookie sheet, then into oven. Bake for 45-50 minutes. They are ready when a knife slides in easily
3. Remove sweet potatoes from oven, and let cool for 15-20 minutes
4. Slice each potato into halves from outer skins, and spoon out cooked sweet potato into a medium bowl. Warning: sweet potatoes will be hot. Once done, set aside

3. Transfer to the prepared baking dish
4. For the topping, combine flour, Brown Swerve, butter, salt, and pecans. Sprinkle over mashed sweet potatoes mixture in an even layer.
5. Bake for about 25 minutes until mostly set in the center and golden on top. Cover with aluminum foil at the 25-minute mark so flour and pecans do not burn. Bake for another 5 or 10 minutes.
