Ingredients

2 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes (3 medium), peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 cup 1% milk
2 teaspoons freshly grated orange zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste

Topping:

1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
4 teaspoons frozen orange juice concentrate
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1/2 cup chopped pecans (1 3/4 ounces)

Directions

Place sweet potatoes in a large saucepan; cover with lightly salted water and bring to a boil. Cover and cook over medium heat until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain well and return to the pan. Mash with a potato masher. Measure out 3 cups. (Reserve any extra for another use.)

Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat an 8-inch-square (or similar 2-quart) baking dish with cooking spray.

Whisk eggs, oil and honey in a medium bowl. Add mashed sweet potato and mix well. Stir in milk, orange zest, vanilla and salt. Spread the mixture in the prepared baking dish.

To prepare topping: Mix flour, brown sugar, orange juice concentrate, oil and butter in a small bowl. Blend with a fork or your fingertips until crumbly. Stir in pecans. Sprinkle over the sweet potato mixture.

Bake the casserole until heated through and the top is lightly browned, 35 to 45 minutes.

Not What I Was Expecting
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

This seems like a great recipe for those counting calories, but Turkey Day is all about the food. It is not the day to go on... a diet. This was not the sweet potato casserole I know and love. I made this for my family and they actually grabbed the brown sugar out of the pantry and poured some on top of it.Read more

This dish was Amazing
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Even after goofing up on the math when doubling the recipe (I added too much oil to the topping), this casserole was... complimented on by all 12 diners at Thanksgiving. Now, I'm charged with making it every year. A chore I will enjoy! The orange zest is the kicker!Read more

I'm dreaming about it!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this for Thanksgiving, and 4 out of 5 people raved about it. I ate all of the leftovers myself, and I'm not a huge... fan of sweet potatoes. It will be served every Thanksgiving from now on, and also in between!Read more

You gotta try this!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

What a simple and flavorful recipe! I knew from the start that this was going to be good. I made a few minor changes: walnuts... instead of pecans, 1/2 cup golden raisins in the sweet potatoes, and a little marshmellow cream drizzle (warmed a bit in the microwave and piped across the top in very small, diagonal lines). It was absolutely delicious, and no one could get enough! I will absolutely be making this again.Read more

I made this dish for Thanksgiving and my family loved it. It was sweet enough with a good taste of the sweet potatoes and i... can really taste the orange in it. All in all a great dish on the tableRead more
