Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Purple Mashed Sweet Potatoes.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
While the oven warms up, grab your purple sweet potatoes and give them a little love by poking holes all over with a fork.
Step 3
This simple step helps steam escape while they bake, ensuring they turn out perfectly tender.
Step 4
Next, place the sweet potatoes in a baking dish and slide them into the oven.
Step 5
Let them bake for about 45 minutes, or until they’re soft enough to be easily pierced with a knife—this is the moment when their natural sweetness really shines.
Step 6
Once they’re done, carefully cut the sweet potatoes in half widthwise and scoop out the vibrant flesh into a mixing bowl.
Step 7
Now, it’s time to add some deliciousness! Pour in creamy coconut milk, a splash of zesty lime juice, and sprinkle in a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 8
Using an electric mixer, beat everything together until it transforms into a smooth and creamy delight.
Step 9
This luscious mixture is not just a treat for your taste buds; it’s also a feast for the eyes with its beautiful purple hue.
Step 10
Enjoy your delightful creation as a side dish or a comforting main course!.
