Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large sweet potatoes
- 2 ripe bananas
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly, then poke them a few times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil and roast in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, peel the bananas and cut them into chunks. Place them on a separate baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
During the last 15 minutes of the sweet potato roasting time, add the bananas to the oven and roast until they are soft and fragrant.
Remove both the sweet potatoes and bananas from the oven and allow them to cool slightly, just until they are safe to handle.
Peel the skin off the roasted sweet potatoes and discard the skins.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato flesh, roasted bananas, unsalted butter, honey, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Using an electric hand mixer, immersion blender, or stand mixer, whip the mixture until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add the optional heavy cream, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more honey for sweetness or salt for balance.
Transfer the whipped mixture to a serving dish and enjoy warm. Optionally, garnish with an extra drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving.
