Ingredients

3 sweet potatoes Approximately 2 pounds
½ cup crushed pineapple with juice
¼ cup packed light brown sugar
3 tablespoons butter melted
Salt: To taste

Instructions

First, preheat the oven to 350°F to get it nice and warm.
Then, peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 2-inch cubes so they’re evenly sized.
Next, in a large mixing bowl, combine the diced sweet potatoes with the crushed pineapple (including the juice).
Also add the light brown sugar and melted butter to the bowl.
Stir everything together thoroughly so that the sweet potato and pineapple pieces are evenly coated.
Once mixed, transfer the sweet and tart mixture into a greased casserole dish.
Place the dish in the oven and bake for about 45-50 minutes.
Finally, check if the sweet potatoes are tender by piercing with a fork.
Once tender, remove the casserole from the oven and enjoyment! Serve the warm casserole right away.

Notes

✅ Cut Sweet Potatoes Evenly – Ensures they bake at the same rate.
✅ Use Fresh or Canned Pineapple – Both work, but canned pineapple in juice (not syrup) adds the best moisture.
✅ Bake Uncovered – This allows the casserole to develop a slight caramelization on top.
✅ Make It Ahead – Assemble the casserole a day in advance and bake before serving.
✅ Add Texture – Nuts, shredded coconut, or crispy topping enhance the dish.
