Slimmed-Down Sweet Potato Casserole

Yield: 12

Calories per serving: 101

Fat per serving: 2.5

Ingredients

  • 3.5 lbs sweet potatoes (about 5 medium), peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 2 Tbsp honey
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon (divided)
  • 1 Tbsp packed brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Cover potatoes with water, and boil in a large pot until soft when pierced with a fork. Drain, and return to the pot.
  2. Preheat oven to 400° F. Spray a baking dish with cooking spray.
  3. Mash the sweet potatoes, then add the honey, raisins, nutmeg, ginger, salt, and a 1/2 tsp of cinnamon. Whip with an electric mixer or an immersion blender until smooth (if you don't have one, you can do this step by hand—it'll just take a little muscle!). Spread the sweet potato mixture in the prepared baking dish.
  4. Mix the brown sugar, pecans, and remaining 1/2 tsp cinnamon in a bowl; sprinkle over the potatoes. Bake until hot and beginning to brown around the edges, about 15-20 minutes.

Notes

Delicious!
