Prepare your other dishes to share the spotlight, because this sweet tater dish is a show stealer.
What turkey? Ooooohhhh… that turkey! We didn’t see it there with our eyes and taste buds focused on the Maple Mashed Sweet Potatoes. With a color that begs to be looked at and flavors that demand second helpings all around, you’ll likely forget that this naturally sweet dish is actually packed with nutrients (vitamin A, vitamin C, fiber – and more).
The perfect side dish – all year around.
Whether it’s Thanksgiving Day or a random Tuesday night, top with our Holiday Spiced Pecans, and you’ve got yourself the perfect addition to any meal whether it’s a weeknight dinner or as part of a tasty holiday spread. To make it Whole30-friendly, omit the maple syrup and use toasted pecans in place of the Holiday Spiced Pecans. Fortunately, the sweet potatoes will provide plenty of sweetness all on their own.
A time-saving make-ahead recipe.
We love this recipe because you can prepare it the day before it’s served. All you need to do is reheat and eat when you’re ready – and it still tastes incredible! We recommend reheating the sweet potato mash in a 9×9 glass dish in a 350ºF oven for about 15 minutes or until the center is hot. Or if your oven is fully occupied by other delicious foods, feel free to reheat the mash in a slow cooker. For another sweet potato side dish that’s perfect for the holidays give our Maple Bacon Roasted Sweet Potatoes a try.
