Try these whipped sweet potatoes with brown butter for a healthier take on sweet potato casserole! Packed with mostly healthy ingredients and topped with decadently, nutty and flavorful brown butter, this dish is sure to please!
Preheat oven to 400°F. Scrub the sweet potatoes, poke a few times with a fork and roast on a foil lined baking sheet for 40 minutes or until soft and the sugars start to caramelize.
Once the potatoes are almost done, melt the butter in a small pan over medium heat, swirling occasionally until it turns brown and smells nutty. Keep an eye on it so it doesn't burn. Keep warm.
When the sweet potatoes are cooked and cool enough to handle, remove the skins and add to a large mixing bowl. Add the milk, spices and salt.
Using an electric or handheld whisk, whip the sweet potatoes until light and fluffy. Place the warm sweet potatoes in a serving bowl and top with the brown butter just before serving. Serve warm.
Notes
NOTES:Adjust the maple syrup based on your sweet potatoes and your family's tastebuds. My sweet potatoes came out wonderfully caramelized and sweet so they didn't need much added sugar.
