Streuseled Sweet Potatoes

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Rub sweet potatoes lightly with oil; place on a baking sheet and roast 1 hour, or until very tender. Let stand until cool enough to handle. Raise oven temperature to 375 degrees F.

Meanwhile, heat syrup, butter, salt, and pepper in a small saucepan over medium heat until butter melts; whisk to combine.

Split open potatoes and scoop out soft flesh into a large bowl; drizzle syrup mixture over potatoes and stir with a wooden spoon until incorporated. Transfer mixture to a 1 1/2-quart ovenproof serving dish.

In a small bowl, combine nuts, flour, sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Add butter and rub in with fingers until streusel is evenly moistened and forms clumps; sprinkle over sweet potato mixture. Bake 35 minutes, or until streusel is browned.
