Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Sweet Potatoes

Time 1h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 sweet potatoes
1 whole jalapeno pepper
¼ cup softened butter
¼ cup orange juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons melted butter
¼ cup walnut pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bake the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven until tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Once tender, peel, and place into a mixing bowl. While the potatoes are baking, place the jalapeno pepper in the oven, and bake until the skin loosens, about 20 minutes. Peel, mince, and place into the bowl with the potatoes. Add the softened butter, orange juice, and cilantro; mix with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then transfer to a 1 quart baking dish. Drizzle with the melted butter and sprinkle with the walnut pieces.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until hot in the center, about 20 minutes.

These were a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed them. Next time I'll use less jalapeños.

I'm allergic to cilantro, so I used parsley instead. Still turned out great!

These were a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. I added a bit of brown sugar and cinnamon to taste.

Not sure what I did wrong, but mine turned out bland. Maybe I didn't use enough jalapeños.

These mashed sweet potatoes were a hit at our Thanksgiving dinner! They had just the right amount of heat from the jalapeños and the cilantro added a nice freshness. Definitely a keeper recipe!
