Easy and Light Sweet Potato Casserole Recipe
For one 2-quart casserole
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 pounds sweet potato (1125g)*
- 1/3 cup honey (80ml)*
- 1/4 cup milk (60ml)
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
For topping (optional):
- 2/3 cup pecans
- 2 teaspoons dark brown sugar
- 1 cup mini marshmallows or chopped regular marshmallow
* I used white sweet potatoes. They are flavorful and sweet. Read more about white sweet potatoes at Kitchn.
* Honey without strong aroma e.g.) acacia honey
Directions
First, spray oil a baking dish and set aside.
Then cook sweet potatoes. I am cooking in boiling water now but you can opt for baking them in aluminum foil. Cook until it’s fork-tender. It took about 25 minutes today but cooking time varies depending on the size of potatoes.
Now remove the skin and add in a mixing bowl. Pour in 1/4 cup of milk and mash with a potato masher. And add in 1/3 cup of honey, 1 teaspoon of pumpkin spice, and 1/8 teaspoon of salt and continue mashing and stirring until well combined. Now taste and add more spice or salt to your liking. Then fill a baking dish with mashed sweet potato.
Bake in the oven preheated to 375 degrees F. (190 C.) for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile prepare topping by chopping 2/3 cup of pecans. You can also use cornflakes but pecans are in season right now. Out of oven, arrange pecans on top of mashed potato. And sprinkle 2 teaspoons of dark brown sugar. Finally arrange mini marshmallows between the rows of pecans. Today I am using chopped regular marshmallows.
Again bake at 375 degrees F. for about 15 minutes or until marshmallows turn golden brown.
Voila! Sweet potato casserole. This beautiful dish is a must this time of the year along with everything pumpkin.
Bon appetit! Everyone loves warm mashed sweet potato with marshmallows.
