Maple Mashed Sweet Potatoes
This dish is on my table’s top-ten list, and not just because it’s easy to make and tastes great. Sweet potatoes are one of the healthiest vegetables you can eat. They’re packed with a laundry list of nutrients and always taste great, especially with aromatic olive oil instead of rich butter.
Ingredients
4 sweet potatoes (unpeeled)
1 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup olive oil
a sprinkle or two sea salt and freshly ground pepper
2 green onions, minced
1 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup olive oil
a sprinkle or two sea salt and freshly ground pepper
2 green onions, minced
Instructions
Bake the sweet potatoes at 400°F (200°C) until they’re tender and soft, 45 minutes or so.
Toss the unpeeled baked sweet potatoes into a bowl and splash in the maple syrup and olive oil. Mash well and then season with salt and pepper. Stir in the green onions and serve immediately.

Variation
You may remove the skins if you like; you’ll lose some nutrients but not enough to really matter. Try tossing in some of your favourite fresh herb: thyme, tarragon, cilantro, oregano, basil, chives and parsley all work very well.
Could you microwave those sweet potatoes instead of roasting them so your oven was freed up for something else?
love your apple pie.
