butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil adds healthy fats while margarine is a budget-friendly option.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk reduces calories and water is a cost-effective substitute.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Poke holes in the sweet potatoes and cover them with foil.

Roast the sweet potatoes in the oven for about 1.5 hours until caramelized and tender.

Let the sweet potatoes cool enough to handle, then peel the skin off.

Use a ricer to puree the sweet potatoes into a bowl.

Add butter to the hot sweet potatoes in the ricer to help it melt and incorporate.

Add a little salt to the sweet potato mixture while mashing to avoid over-salting.

Pass the sweet potato puree through a very fine mesh sieve for a silky smooth texture.

Add maple syrup to the puree, adjusting the sweetness to taste.

Finish the puree with creme fraiche for extra richness and mix well.
