How to Make Orange Whipped Sweet Potatoes
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and pierce 2 pounds of sweet potatoes several times with a fork.
- Place sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and roast for 45-55 minutes, or until tender.
- While sweet potatoes are roasting, combine 2 1/3 cups orange juice, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger in a medium saucepan.
- Heat the orange juice mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved.
- Once sweet potatoes are tender, remove from oven and let cool slightly.
- Once cool enough to handle, peel and add the sweet potatoes to a large mixing bowl.
- Add the warm orange juice mixture to the sweet potatoes.
- Mash the sweet potatoes and orange juice mixture until smooth and creamy. Add more orange juice if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Serve warm and enjoy! Garnish with extra orange zest (optional).
