And the best part is that this casserole is is super easy to make and won’t break the bank!

Sweet potatoes: A nutritional powerhouse

Adding sweet potatoes to your diet is an easy — and naturally sweet — way to eat healthy. The humble vegetable can be classified as a superfood, packed with vitamins A and C,  beta-carotene and potassium. It is also a good source of fibre.

On top of this, sweet potatoes are very versatile and baking them in the oven is one of the simplest ways to prepare them.

Baked sweet potato casserole makes great comfort food side

The recipe for this casserole marries the goodness of butter, milk, cheddar cheese with a hint of thyme for a hearty side dish which are sure to be the talk of the table.

One can add to this savoury spin on sweet potatoes with some bits of diced bacon before baking it to cheesy perfection.

Chef’s tip

This recipe is a time-saver in that one does not have to peel the sweet potatoes. This way you will also get a few extra nutrients in your sweet spuds.  

However, a sweet potato bake with a gritty texture is a big culinary “no”, so make sure to wash the potatoes and scrub the skins lightly to get rid of any excess dirt.

Store sweet potatoes just as you would regular potatoes — in a cool, dark place for up to two weeks.
