Notes
- If using fresh sweet potatoes try this air fryer sweet potato recipe to quickly cook them.
- You can use canned yams in place of fresh sweet potatoes for this recipe. It works just as well and takes out the extra step of having to clean and pre-cook the potatoes.
- Storage Instructions: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Freezing is not recommended.
- Reheating Instructions: Reheat in the oven until warmed through or individual portions in the microwave.
- Make Ahead: Keep the crumble topping mixture separate from the sweet potato mixture since you cook them in 2 sections. 30 minutes prior to baking remove potato mixture from the fridge. Account for a few extra minutes in the oven if you take the dish straight from the fridge to the oven.
- Vegan: To make it vegan omit eggs and use vegan butter or coconut oil.
- Gluten Free: To make it gluten free just swap out all purpose flour for gluten free flour.
- Nut Free: Substitute oatmeal topping for pecans. Replace equal parts rolled oats for pecans.
