ORANGE-GINGER SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE

This is my version of a traditional Thanksgiving favorite. I love sweet potatoes, but find I don't need any sweetener, so I substituted orange juice. You'll find yourself serving this casserole quite often! You can cut the prep time on serving day by cooking the sweet potatoes up to two days in advance; simply remove their skins and store in the fridge in an airtight container until needed.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your casserole.
  • Don't overcook the sweet potatoes. They should be tender but still have a little bit of bite to them.
  • Be careful not to burn the ginger. If you burn it, it will be bitter.
  • Use a good quality orange zest. This will give your casserole a bright, citrusy flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices. You could add a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or allspice to your casserole.
  • Serve the casserole warm. It's best when it's fresh out of the oven.
