Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x12-inch baking dish. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, gently mash the sweet potatoes with milk, adding a little at a time, until you reach a smooth, creamy consistency that suits your preference. Spread evenly into the prepared baking dish. (5 minutes)

03

Step

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine maple syrup and butter. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally, until the butter is melted and the mixture is well combined. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Carefully pour the hot maple-butter mixture evenly over the sweet potatoes. (1 minute)

05

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the sweet potatoes are heated through and the topping is bubbly and slightly caramelized, about 20 to 30 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving. (20-30 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger to the sweet potatoes.
To make ahead, prepare the casserole up to the baking step and store, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
For a nutty crunch, sprinkle the casserole with chopped pecans or walnuts before baking.
