Savory Toppers: While the sweet potatoes bake, you’ll have plenty of time to make the maple crumb topper. Or top the potatoes with melted butter and fresh herbs or chopped chipotle pepper.Heat butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until melted. Continue heating, stirring occasionally, until
butter turns a light golden brown. Stir in 1½ Tbsp. maple syrup; set aside.Combine brown sugar, pistachios, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, ¼ tsp. salt and cayenne pepper in a bowl. Stir in half of the butter mixture.
Flatten sweet potato halves with a potato masher or fork; drizzle remaining butter mixture on top. Top with pistachio mixture. Bake for 10 minutes more or until golden. Drizzle sweet potatoes with remaining 2½ Tbsp. maple syrup. If desired, garnish with parsley and season to taste with salt. Serve warm.
