How to Make Sweet Potato Stuffing

  1. Place 2 large sweet potatoes in a steamer basket and steam for 10-15 minutes, or until tender. Add 1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions to the steamer during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  3. In a large bowl, partially mash the cooked sweet potatoes and scallions. Stir in 2 tablespoons of butter.
  4. Add 2 large eggs (beaten), 1 cup breadcrumbs, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt, zest of 1 orange, and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley. Mix well and set aside.
  5. In a small skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of breadcrumbs and toast, stirring frequently, until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes).
  6. Spoon the sweet potato mixture into a greased 8x8 inch baking dish. Sprinkle the toasted breadcrumbs evenly over the top.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through and lightly browned. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
  8. Serve hot and enjoy!
