maple mashed sweet potatoes

Ingredients:

• 4 sweet potatoes (unpeeled)
• 1 cup maple syrup
• ¼ cup olive oil
• Sprinkle or two of sea salt and freshly ground pepper
• 2 green onions, minced

Preparation:

• Bake the sweet potato at 400f (200c) until they’re tender and soft, 45 minutes or so.
• Toss the unpeeled baked sweet potatoes into a bowl and splash in the maple syrup and olive oil
• Mash well and then season with salt and pepper
• Stir in the green onions and serve immediately

Notes:

• I peeled the sweet potatoes
• i halfed the recipe and still thought it could serve 4-6
• I thought there was too much olive oil.
• we would probably make this again, but I'll try it with less oil next time.... maybe butter instead?
