Sweet Potato Casserole

I hope you have all your Christmas shopping done and are getting ready for the big day! I am sure you have many holiday dinners/ parties to attend and have trouble finding a healthier option to provide for everyone. If you are like me, I want to make something really good, but also healthy. After looking over the FitSugar recipe, I knew I couldn't go wrong with this sweet potato casserole. I tweaked their recipe to make it a little different, but it is still very good and addicting! Try it out for a Christmas dinner side dish!

Sweet Potato Casserole

Serves: 12

Time: 1 hr and 20 min

Ingredients:

• 10 Medium sweet potatoes, cut in thirds
• 2/3 cup honey
• 2 large eggs
• Splash of orange juice
• 2 teaspoon cinnamon, separated
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoon packed brown sugar
• Optional toppings: 2/3 cup chopped pecan or marshmallows on top

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 
2. Boil water in a large pot, add sweet potatoes to water. Boil until soft, about 25-30 minutes.
3. When sweet potatoes are ready, transfer to a mixing bowl and let them cool. When comfortable to touch, peel the skin of the sweet potatoes. (You can peel the skin off easier than doing it before boiling.)
4. Add the honey, eggs, orange juice, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, all the nutmeg, all the ginger, and salt. Mix the sweet potato mixture until it looks mashed and transfer to a casserole dish.
5. Mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and optional toppings together, sprinkle over sweet potatoes. 
6. Bake until brown around the edges, 40-45 minutes.
7. Enjoy this delicious dish!
