Ingredients

• 5–7 medium to large sweet potatoes
• 1–2 tbsp olive oil
• 1–2 tbsp agave syrup
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• Juice of ½ lemon
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• ½ tsp nutmeg
• 4–5 oz heavy whipping cream (or your choice of dairy-free cream alternative)
• 4 oz Irish butter, room temperature
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• Sea salt, to taste

Instructions

If you're new here, take note that we always, always recommend properly washing your fruits and veggies before cooking. Just trust us on this!

Supplies:

• KitchenAid stand mixer or high-powered electric hand mixer
• Large glass mixing bowl
• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper
• Tongs

Step 1: Clean and Prep

• Preheat your oven to 375–400°F.
• Soak and wash the sweet potatoes using a gentle veggie wash.
• Lay them out on a cutting board and pat dry.
• Set your butter aside to reach room temperature.
• Drizzle sweet potatoes with olive oil and agave syrup.
• Finish with a sprinkle of sea salt.

Step 2: Bake and Glaze

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Arrange the sweet potatoes evenly across the tray.
• Bake for 30 minutes, then use tongs to flip each potato.
• Continue baking for another 30 minutes.
• The agave will caramelize beautifully, creating a golden glaze on the skins.
• After 1 hour, pierce each potato with a fork.
• If tender, they're ready.
• If still firm, continue baking in 15-minute increments until soft.
• Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.
• Once warm but manageable to the touch, peel away the skins.
• Discard or save skins for other dishes (they’re delicious blended into soups or smoothies).

Step 3: Whip and Smooth

• Add the peeled sweet potatoes to your mixer bowl.
• Add room-temperature butter, vanilla extract, lemon juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
• Begin mixing on low speed, slowly streaming in the heavy cream (or your choice of dairy-free cream alternative).
• Continue whipping 3–5 minutes until completely smooth, airy, and pillowy.

Step 4: Plate and Enjoy

• Spoon your decadent whipped sweet potatoes into a serving dish and enjoy immediately,or
• Transfer to an oven-safe dish and warm for 15–20 minutes before serving guests.
