Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly, then prick them with a fork a few times to allow steam to escape during roasting.
Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast in the oven for 35–40 minutes, or until they are soft and fork-tender.
Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool for 10–15 minutes, or until they are safe to handle.
Peel the sweet potatoes and add the flesh to a food processor or blender.
Add the unsalted butter, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, vanilla extract, and salt to the food processor.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
Taste and adjust the sweetness or spices, if desired.
Transfer the sweet potato butter spread into an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Spread on toast, pancakes, or use as a dip for fruits and crackers. Enjoy!
