2. Mix Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the crushed pineapple (make sure to drain excess liquid), maple syrup, pecan halves, brown sugar, melted butter, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

3. Pour Mixture: Pour the pineapple and spice mixture over the sweet potatoes in the baking dish, ensuring that all the potatoes are coated evenly.

4. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the baking dish, uncovered, in the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 45 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown.

5. Serve: Once baked, remove the sweet potato casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm as a delicious side dish alongside your holiday meal.

Tips:

• For added texture and crunch, consider topping the casserole with a sprinkle of chopped pecans or marshmallows before baking.
• Adjust the sweetness according to your preference by increasing or decreasing the amount of brown sugar and maple syrup.
• Make ahead: You can prepare the casserole a day in advance and refrigerate it. Just pop it in the oven when you’re ready to serve, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time if needed.
