Orange-Ginger Sweet Potato Casserole image

This is my version of a traditional Thanksgiving favorite. I love sweet potatoes, but find I don't need any sweetener, so I substituted orange juice. You'll find yourself serving this casserole quite often! You can cut the prep time on serving day by cooking the sweet potatoes up to two days in advance; simply remove their skins and store in the fridge in an airtight container until needed.

Time 2h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 sweet potatoes, scrubbed
1 tablespoon orange zest
2 teaspoons finely minced fresh ginger root
2 egg yolks
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup orange juice, or to taste
½ cup 2% low-fat milk
⅓ cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place oven rack in middle position. Lightly grease a 1 1/2 quart baking dish, and set aside.
  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Pierce each sweet potato several times with a fork, and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Roast the sweet potatoes in preheated oven until easily pierced with a fork, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
  • Remove sweet potatoes from the oven, and cool about 15 minutes. Lower oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • When sweet potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut in half, and scoop flesh into the bowl of a food processor. Discard potato skins. Add the orange zest, ginger; and egg yolks; process to make a smooth mixture. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour in the orange juice and milk; if desired, add more orange juice to taste. Spoon sweet potato mixture into prepared baking dish. Sprinkle top with pecans.
  • Bake in preheated oven until heated through and pecans are toasted, about 30 minutes.

This casserole was easy to make and turned out great! The orange and ginger flavors were very subtle, but I liked that. It was a nice change from the traditional sweet potato casserole.

This casserole was a bit of a disappointment. The orange and ginger flavors were very muted and the casserole was very bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

I thought this casserole was just okay. The orange and ginger flavors were nice, but I found the casserole to be a bit too sweet. I also thought the texture was a bit too mushy for my taste.

I found this casserole to be a bit bland. The orange and ginger flavors were there, but they were very subtle. I think I would have liked it more if the flavors had been a bit more pronounced.

This casserole was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The orange and ginger flavors were nice, but I would have liked a bit more spice. Overall, it was a good casserole, but not my favorite.
