Sweet Potato Casserole
This is an easy veggie side bake that is simply perfect with roasted chicken or turkey and a nice accompaniment to the meat. The pairing of the sweet vegetables, plums and honey is pure magic. The colors are beautiful on any rainy day in the fall, but it's also good for you with an extra dose of vitamin A.
Serves 6
Ingredients
- 4 large sweet potatoes
- 4 large long carrots
- 3 medium plums
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 tbsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp paprika
Directions
1. Peel the potatoes and carrots. Wash clean and chop in 1-inch bits. Place on a greased (or sprayed with baking spray) good size casserole.
2. Preheat the oven to 350F.
3. Peal the plums and chop in small bite-size pieces. Add to the sweet potatoes and carrots in the casserole and mix everything well. You can mix the ingredients in a separate bowl from the beginning, but since it's just a few of them, putting everything straight into the casserole is just as easy.
4. Mix 1/2 cup honey, butter, salt and paprika. Pour over the veggies and plums.
5. Place in the 350 degree oven for 40 minutes.
6. Get the casserole out of the oven and toss the veggies once again.
7. Increase the oven temperature to 400F. Place the casserole back in for another 20-30 minutes. It's ready when you can cut through the carrots easily.
