Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes that are about the same size. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Cut the sweet potatoes evenly: Cut the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Don't overcrowd the casserole dish: Make sure to leave some space between the sweet potatoes and other ingredients in the casserole dish. This will allow the air to circulate and help the casserole cook evenly.
  • Bake the casserole until the sweet potatoes are tender: Insert a toothpick or skewer into the center of the casserole. If it comes out clean, the casserole is done. If not, continue baking for a few more minutes.
  • Let the casserole cool slightly before serving: This will allow the casserole to set and make it easier to slice.
