Notes
- Recipe Tips:
- Don't like pecans? Swap them out for almonds or walnuts.
- To prep ahead, mix together the pecans, coconut, and brown sugar ahead of time. Wash and cut the sweet potatoes and keep them in an airtight bag or container in the fridge until ready to cook.
- To store, keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, or in the freezer for up to one month.
