How To Make Boston Market Sweet Potato Casserole
Step One: Spray your casserole dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Cut sweet potatoes into 1- to 2-inch pieces for even cooking.
Step Two: Boil the sweet potatoes in a saucepan filled with water until they are fork-tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain the water and mash the sweet potatoes until smooth using a potato masher.
Step Three: Mix in the remaining ingredients for the sweet potatoes until well combined. Transfer the mashed sweet potatoes into the greased casserole dish. In a large bowl, mix all the topping ingredients together and sprinkle evenly over the sweet potatoes.
Step Four: Air fry the casserole at 300 degrees F for 10-15 minutes. If the topping browns too quickly, cover it with foil to prevent burning.
Tips For A Perfect Copycat Boston Market Sweet Potatoes Recipe
- Choose the Right Sweet Potatoes: Select firm, smooth sweet potatoes for the best texture and flavor. Avoid any that have blemishes or soft spots.
- Boil Until Fork-Tender: Ensure that your sweet potatoes are boiled until they are fork-tender, which usually takes about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Mash Thoroughly: Use a potato masher or a ricer to mash the sweet potatoes until completely smooth.
- Adjust Sweetness: Depending on your preference, feel free to adjust the amount of brown sugar and vanilla extract in the sweet potato mixture for a sweeter or more subtle flavor.
- Don’t Skip the Topping: The pecan streusel topping adds a wonderful crunch and flavor contrast.
- Monitor Cooking Time: When baking in the air fryer or oven, keep an eye on the casserole to prevent the topping from burning.
- Let it Rest: Allow the casserole to rest for a few minutes after cooking. This helps it set up a bit, making it easier to serve.
- Serve Warm: For the best flavor and texture, serve the casserole warm, allowing the sweetness and buttery notes to shine.
Storing and Reheating Sweet Potato Casserole With Marshmallows
Allow the casserole to cool completely at room temperature before storing to prevent condensation, which can make it soggy. Transfer the casserole to an airtight container. If you plan to store it in the baking dish, cover it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
To Reheat: Bake at 350 degrees F for about 20-25 minutes, or until heated through. For quicker reheating, individual servings can be reheated in the microwave. Heat on medium power in 30-second intervals until warmed through.
