Pineapple Sweet Potato Recipe
The pineapple sweet potato recipe has a yummy mix of sweet, tropical, and spicy flavors. The pineapple adds a little tanginess. It’s creamy with a bit of crunch.
Ingredients
- 6 sweet potatoes
- 1 20 ounce can crushed pineapple
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 pinch ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch ground ginger
Instructions
- First, preheat your oven and bake the sweet potatoes until tender. This helps them to mash more easily later.
- Next, in a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked sweet potatoes with the crushed pineapple. This brings the two sweet fillings together.
- Also stir in the brown sugar to both sweeten and help caramelize the dish during baking.
- Add the cinnamon and ginger, which will gently spice up the flavors.
- Optionally, you could mix in some pecans at this stage for a crunchy texture contrast, if desired.
- Once the ingredients are thoroughly combined, transfer the mixture into a baking dish so it’s ready for the oven.
- Finally, bake the sweet potato mixture until heated through and glazed. Then enjoy your fruity, warmly-spiced side dish!
Notes
Use Roasted Sweet Potatoes – Baking brings out natural sweetness and prevents excess moisture.
Keep the Pineapple Juice – It helps create a moist, flavorful mixture.
Mash to Your Desired Texture – Smooth or chunky, depending on preference!
Don’t Overbake – Bake just until heated through to avoid drying out.
Add Nuts for Extra Crunch – Pecans or walnuts enhance texture and flavor
