Sunnys Sage And Pecan Sweet Potato Casserole Food

SUNNY'S NUTTY SWEET POTATO SOUFFLE

Steps:

• Prepare the pan and coating. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter generously the bottom and sides of a circular 1.75-quart or an 8-by-8-inch baking dish. In a food processor, add the pecans, brown sugar, sage, cinnamon and a pinch of salt. Pulse until crumbly like crushed cookies. Pour into the dish. Over a large bowl, tilt and tap the dish to coat all sides with the mixture. Add a bit more to the bottom of the dish to create a layer about 1/8-inch thin. Reserve the remaining mixture for the top. Refrigerate the coated dish and remaining topping until ready to fill.
• Prepare the potatoes. Microwave the potatoes as instructed on the bag (usually 8 minutes). Once cooled to room temperature, break in half and place in a food processor with the butter, sugar, cream, flour, cinnamon and yolks. Pulse, and then blend until smooth. Taste and season with a pinch of salt if needed. Remove to a large bowl and fold in the egg whites. Pour into the prepared dish, smoothing out the top. Sprinkle the rest of the reserved topping evenly over the potatoes and gently press down to flatten.
• Top and bake. Bake until the edges and top are golden, about 30 minutes. Raise the heat of the oven to 400 degrees F. Pour the marshmallows over the top and pat gently to an even layer. Bake while watching until the top is golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Serve immediately.

SWEET POTATO-PECAN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Mist an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
• Bring a few inches of water to a boil in a pot with a large steamer basket in place. Put the sweet potatoes in the basket, cover and steam until tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer the potatoes to a bowl and let cool slightly. Add the honey, egg, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, the nutmeg, ginger and 1/2 teaspoon salt; whip with an electric mixer until smooth. Spread the sweet potato mixture in the prepared baking dish.
• Mix the brown sugar, pecans and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in a bowl; sprinkle over the potatoes. Bake until hot and beginning to brown around the edges, 40 to 45 minutes.

SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Put the sweet potatoes on a sheet tray and roast for 35 to 40 minutes. The sweet potatoes might still be a little hard in the center- no problem!
• While the sweet potatoes are baking make the topping. In a food processor, combine the oatmeal, brown sugar, olive oil, butter, and walnuts and pulse until mixture comes together.
• When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel them and cut them into 1-inch chunks. Discard the skins. Put the potatoes into a large dish and add the remaining ingredients. Mash together with a potato masher until well combined.
• Transfer the mixture to a 2-quart casserole dish. Crumble the topping mixture over the potatoes. Bake until the mixture hot all the way through and the topping is brown and crispy, about 30 minutes.
• That's a hot sweet potato!
