Sweet Potato Puree

Serves 3

600g sweet potatoes, unpeeled

4 tbsp butter

1 tsp ground ginger

2-3 tsp maple syrup, or to taste

salt to taste

• Preheat oven to 375.

• Place sweet potatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in a roasting pan and pierce in a few places. Bake until very soft, 30-60 minutes depending on size of sweet potatoes.

• While sweet potato are warm but cool enough to handle, cut half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out the flesh and place in a mixing bowl. Use a wire whisk, vegetable masher or hand mixer to make a smooth puree. Add in butter, maple syrup, ginger and salt to taste - mix to combine.

• Reheat in a small sauce pan before serving.
