Mashed Jalapeño Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients

·2 sweet potatoes
·1 whole jalapeno
·1/4 cup softened butter
·1/4 cup orange juice, no pulp
·1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
·Sea salt and cracked black pepper, to taste
·2 tablespoons melted butter
·1/4 cup walnut pieces

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake sweet potatoes until tender, about 45 min. to an hour. Once tender, peel, and place into a mixing bowl. While potatoes are baking, place jalapeno in the oven, and bake until skin loosens, about 20 minutes. Peel, mince, and place into the bowl with the potatoes. Add the softened butter, orange juice, and cilantro; mix with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then transfer to a 1 quart baking dish. Drizzle with melted butter and sprinkle with walnuts. Bake in the preheated oven until hot in the center, about 20 minutes. Serve and enjoy!

I always await my veg bag with anticipation. Great quality veg with lots of variety. Plus easy, interesting recipes provided in the weekly newsletter. I cook in a different way now, which feels healthier and more connected to the seasons.
